The veteran actor left behind an entire of legacy of film roles, including his first role in Three’s Company. Aside from his work in the industry, he had also made prior investments in the event that something did happen to him.

Thanks to his forward-thinking, Jason and his mother, Amy Yasbeck, did not have to worry about their finances. It also gave Jason the opportunity to follow his own dream and try his hand at becoming an actor. Since then, he has done plenty of work, including providing the voice of Dipper Pines on the Disney Channel show Gravity Falls. Jason is also known for his appearance in TV shows such as Sean Walker in The Event.
