Photos and bio of Jason Bateman.
Jason Bateman (Craig Gregory) is reunited with Jason Reitman, for whom he starred as the potential, yet uncertain, adoptive father to Juno’s unborn child in Juno. The film, which also starred Ellen Page and Jennifer Garner, was nominated for Best Film by most major film critics’ groups as well as by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Bateman, who also directs and produces, was honored with a Golden Globe Award in 2004 for Best Actor in a Comedy Series and earned an Emmy Award nomination and two Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for his irreverent portrayal of Michael Bluth in the Mitch Hurwitz-created, multi award-winning comedy series Arrested Development. Since the show ended in 2006, Bateman has secured one major film role after another while also returning to his roots in television by continuing to produce, write and develop projects for the small screen. The actor recently wrapped production on the comedy Paul with Seth Rogen, as well as the starring role opposite Jennifer Aniston in the film The Baster, set for release in spring 2010. Bateman played lead roles in two 2009 fall releases, one of which he produced through his banner F+A Productions; Extract, directed by Mike Judge, is Bateman’s first foray as a feature film producer. In the film, he portrays a small business owner of flavored extract, whose life takes an unpredictable turn both personally and professionally. In the comedy Couples Retreat, Bateman stars alongside Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau and Kristen Bell in a story about four couples who embark on a Tahitian vacation that ultimately tests the commitment to their respective marriages. He can also be seen in the Ricky Gervais-penned and directed comedy The Invention of Lying. In addition, Bateman is producing and will star in The Remarkable Fellows, an action comedy about two elite "revenge specialists" who are hired by the most powerful and wealthy people in the world to extract revenge on those who have wronged them. It is based on his original idea. Joe Carnahan is writing and will direct the film. (Bateman previously partnered with Carnahan on Smokin' Aces in 2006). On the small screen, Bateman’s F+A Productions has a first-look producing deal to develop, direct and write original content for 20th Century Fox Television. The deal came to fruition after Bateman directed the comedy pilot Do Not Disturb for the network, which premiered it on their 2008 fall lineup. He also reteamed with his Arrested Development creator, Mitch Hurwitz, to voice a character in the Fox animated comedy series Sit Down, Shut Up last spring. He has starred in two films directed by Peter Berg. Hancock, in which he co-starred with Will Smith and Charlize Theron, had one of the biggest box office openings of 2008. The previous year, he co-starred opposite Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper and Jennifer Garner in Berg’s action-thriller The Kingdom, set in Saudi Arabia. Bateman’s other recent film roles include Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, in which he starred opposite Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman for director-writer Zach Helm; the comedy The Ex, in which is starred with Zach Braff and Amanda Peet, and The Break-Up, in which he had a supporting role opposite Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston. Among his additional motion picture credits are the comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story starring Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller; Starsky & Hutch, in which he co-starred with Stiller, Owen Wilson and Vaughn; and the romantic comedy The Sweetest Thing opposite Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate and Selma Blair. In his adolescent and teenage years, Bateman’s portrayal of the charming schemer Derek Taylor in Silver Spoons prompted NBC to create a spin-off, It’s Your Move, starring Bateman. He then starred with Valerie Harper in her serial series Valerie, Valerie’s Family and The Hogan Family. Prior to this, he was a series regular on the iconic television series with Michael Landon, Little House on the Prairie.
