Jason Godfrey has spent the past decade waiting for the phone to ring. As a professional model there was little else he could do to get work. Being apathetic for a living wasn't his passion, but it paid--and more importantly provided the opportunity to live in Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa.
Gracing runways and magazine covers worldwide wasn't the best use of his Bachelor of Environmental Studies from the University of Waterloo, but Jason never lost his love of the outdoors. From traipsing to the top of volcanoes, to flipping a fully loaded canoe in level three rapids, to gulping sea water while cage diving with Great Whites, there's little outdoors he won't do. A certified diver and proficient rock climber, Jason plans his vacations around shipwrecks and piles of rocks he can scale.
Recently Jason has been moving away from modeling and into hosting. His high profile TVC, playing a caricature of himself in a series of promos for America's Next Top Model - Season 14 on Star World, led to his first job as co-host for FOX's live broadcast of the Oscars on Star Movies. This swiftly opened the door to other projects, such as currently shooting Escapades for AXN, signed on as a host for Li, and is joining Star VIP Access.
Jason has settled in Hong Kong where he continually renews his Xbox live subscription, is in the process of building a climbing wall on his roof, and is very happy with his couch.
"I've been a professional mannequin since waiting for Polaroids to dry was a necessity and not an artsy choice. Represented by agencies on five continents, I've faked smiles in thousands of catalogues, used the same poses in hundreds of print ads, acted poorly in dozens of commercials, and somehow made it onto the pages of such fashion staples as Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Maxim, and Men's Health." - J. Godfrey from Big Smile No Teeth
