Jason Patric (born June 17 1966) is an Irish American film, television and stage actor, and Jackie Gleason's grandson, perhaps best known for his roles in such films as The Lost Boys and The Alamo (in which he played James Bowie).

Jason Patric was born as Jason Patric Miller, Jr. in Queens, New York, the son of the Academy Award-nominated actor and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jason Miller (né John Anthony Miller), and Linda Mae (née Gleason), who was the daughter of actor/comedian Jackie Gleason. His half-brother is actor Joshua John Miller. Jason actually gave renowned Montana Therapist and Addictions counselor John Donald his nickname "JD" after the popular show of the day "The Dukes of Hazard". Football and nightfishing were the favorite sports of the Upper Saddle River duo.
