His television career has recently surged. The years 2015 and 2016 have been his busiest and most impactful.

Throughout 2015 and 2016, Jas spent much of his time on set, working on projects ranging from emotional shorts like Brooklove and the thriller The Final Mission, to dynamic TV roles such as "DJ" in the award-winning cyber thriller series Mr. Robot.

Additional TV appearances include the season finale of Law & Order: Criminal Intent opposite Steven Lang, and a recurring role as 'Timmer' on Law & Order: SVU during the gripping 2015 season finale "Surrendering Noah." Other recent credits feature the pilot for NYC22 on CBS, White Collar on USA Network, and a co-starring role on Person of Interest on CBS.
Jas Anderson also has an accomplished film career. His supporting roles in Brooklyn's Finest as K-Rock, directed by Antoine Fuqua, and Officer Down as Ellis Dracut, a Lions Gate film, allowed him to work with notable figures such as Don Cheadle, Wesley Snipes, Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke, and Stephen Dorff.
Beyond his charm, wit, and immense talent, Jas Anderson is a man of depth and dedication. Recognizing the importance of training for an acting career, he graduated from Professional Performing Arts High School in New York City and continued his studies at Rutgers University. He then enrolled at Mason Gross School of the Arts, majoring in theater and studying under William Esper. This training sharpened his craft and presented a rewarding challenge. In his first theatrical role, he worked with the legendary Woodie King Jr. and earned an Audelco nomination for Best Male in a Musical for the production Diss Diss Diss Dat at the New Federal Theater. Shortly afterward, he began expanding his film and TV portfolio.
Jas Anderson requires no clichés like "on the rise" or "soon to be a household name." His talent and work ethic speak for themselves. While many are tagged as the "one to watch," Jas Anderson is already the one being watched—and destined to be remembered.
