Jason Marsden (born 3 January 1975; age 49) is an American screen and voice actor who played the role of Grimp in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Bar Association". He previously voiced Raymond Marr in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Silicon Avatar", for which he went uncredited.
Screen acting roles
Marsden started acting in 1986, becoming the third actor to play "Alan 'A. J.' Quartermaine, Jr." on the soap opera General Hospital. He made his film debut in the 1990 science fiction feature Robot Jox, which also featured Jeffrey Combs.
From 1988 through 1991, Marsden starred as Eddie Munster in The Munsters Today. John Schuck played his on-screen father, Herman Munster, and Lee Meriwether played his mother, Lily Munster. Marsden was nominated for four Young Artist Awards for his performance on this show.
Marsden also received Young Artist Award nominations for his guest appearances on the television shows Anything But Love and Baywatch. He was also nominated for his performance in the 1992 film Mr. Saturday Night, which starred Julie Warner and featured an appearance by Tim Russ.
In 1992, Marsden played the mysterious Dash X on the horror-mystery series Eerie, Indiana. The following year, he became a regular on the short-lived NBC comedy series Almost Home (formerly known as The Torkelsons), for which he received another Young Artist Award nomination. In one episode of Almost Home, his character complains about missing Deep Space Nine to have a family dinner.
During the 1994-1995 television season, Marsden had a recurring role on two television series: Full House (as "Nelson Burkhand") and Boy Meets World (as a character also named "Jason Marsden"). His work on the latter earned him his last Young Artist Award nomination and also allowed him to work with fellow Star Trek alumni Shay Astar, Katie Jane Johnston, Herschel Sparber, and Musetta Vander.
Marsden had a supporting role in the 1996 Ridley Scott film White Squall, which starred John Savage. Marsden also had a supporting role in the 1997 comedy film Tojan War. From 1997 through 1998, Marsden played "Rich Halke" as a regular of the sitcom Step by Step, having previously played the role as a recurring character between 1993 and 1996.
Since 2000, Marsden has made guest appearances on such shows as Ally McBeal, Just Shoot Me, and Will & Grace. He also made two appearances on the CBS legal drama Shark, on which Star Trek: Voyager star Jeri Ryan was a regular. In addition, Marsden had roles in the TV movies How to Make a Monster (with Steven Culp) and Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt (with Ray Buktenica, Christopher Darga, Frank Gorshin, Jim Jansen, the aforementioned Lee Meriwether, Julie Newmar, Joel Swetow, and Steve Vinovich). His recent film credits have included 2005's Fun with Dick and Jane (in which he and Scott L. Schwartz played convenient store clerks) and 2006's Nice Guys (co-starring Andy Dick).
Voice-over roles
He has been busy in the field of voice work for animated series and movies since the age of ten, beginning with Gummi Bears. In recent years, his credits have consisted largely of work in that area though he did have a major role in the TV special Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt playing the young Burt Ward in 1960s scenes. The special also featured his Munsters co-star Lee Meriwether, Julie Newmar, Frank Gorshin, Julia Rose, Jim Jansen, Ray Buktenica, Steve Vinovich, Joel Swetow, Christopher Darga, and Todd Merrill.
