Jason Maza

Maza was accepted to the Central School of Speech and Drama, but at that time, he was already working as an actor so he decided not to attend.[1] Although primarily an actor, Maza began work as a film producer in 2011, setting up Think Big Productions,[2] with a belief that British film can be hugely entertaining, of great quality and international in scale and distribution. Since then he has produced 14 films. Titles include: 10x10 starring Luke Evans, and Brotherhood for Lionsgate which grossed just shy of £4,000,000 at the UK Box Office.

In 2017, Maza teamed up with Noel Clarke, launching Unstoppable Film and Television as co-CEO, after working with him on the Universal Pictures Brit-comedy The Knot. In 2018, Unstoppable joined the All3Media Group, forming Unstoppable Film & Television. 2020 will see the release of season 2 of Sky One's hit show Bulletproof as well The Drowning, a 4-part drama for Channel 5.

As of 2020, Maza appears as Special Officer Chris Munroe in Sky One’s second season of gripping British police-drama Bulletproof and has recently finished producing and starring in a loose adaptation of Oliver Twist, entitled Twist alongside Michael Caine, Rita Ora, Lena Headey and Rafferty Law.[3][4]

Maza cites Ray Winstone as one of his favorite actors and biggest inspirations, "If you look what he has achieved, he started off as a working class British film actor to a big star in Hollywood. We’re from similar backgrounds as well as the same area so I suppose I can relate to him. If I have half the career he has I’ll be very happy".[5]

Maza lives in Essex. His younger brother, Taylor, is also an actor.
