Jason Merrells is an English actor, who received his big break when he starred in Casualty for three years (1994 to 1997) as Matt Hawley.

He has also starred in Clocking Off, playing a factory employee called Martin Leach.

Jason's biggest role to date is as stylist Gavin Ferraday in Cutting It. Desperate to start a family with Allie (Sarah Parish), Gavin knew that she was having an affair with Finn (Ben Daniels) and plotted with Finn's wife Mia (Amanda Holden). In the next few seasons, Gavin ended up sleeping with his ex-wife's daughter (who she had given up after a teenage pregnancy) but eventually rekindled his love with Allie before she was killed in a road accident.

Jason has also made guest appearances in successful dramas such as Queer as Folk, Fat Friends, A Touch of Frost, The Inspector Lynley Mysteries and The Project.

Jason made a series called Sweet Medicine, which failed to capture the viewers. It was moved from its 9pm slot to 11pm as the audience figures continued to fall.

He most recently starred in BBC drama Waterloo Road as headmaster Jack Rimmer which lasted from early March 2006 and ended in late April 2006. The series is set to return to the BBC in 2007.
