We know he's been auditioning -- a lot. And he mentioned comedies during the recent interview on VRO.
I don't know about all of you, but I've had my eye on the upcoming pilot summaries and casting calls for some time now. There were a couple of dramas that looked promising that have since been cast with other actors.
Of what's left, there's are a couple of comedies that stand out in my mind....
First is The Pink House -- a half-hour pilot for NBC.
This was from SpoilerTV...
The Pink House - NBC Pilot - Plotline and Casting Call
STORY LINE
Midwesterners
John "FITZ" Fitzgerald and Rob "BERNIE" Burnett move to L.A. and rent a
house right on the beach, determined to find jobs they actually love
and make the most of their twenties...
["FITZ"] Mid to late 20s - Handsome, fit,
responsible, practical college grad struggling with his inner,
fun-loving guy. Fitz was supposed to make a life for himself in
Minneapolis but best friend Bernie persuaded him to move to Manhattan
Beach because this is the time in their lives when they‘re supposed to
take chances, and if they fail to act, they may lead ordinary lives.
Fitz has a practical streak, and even though he might question Bernie’s
bright ideas, Bernie is tough to resist, and in Fitz's mind, there is
something justifiably bold about pursuing your dreams in the face of
the worst economic crisis since the Depression...SERIES REGULAR
["BERNIE"]
Mid to late 20s. Fun-loving, out-going, confident, and smart. Bernie is
attractive, or perhaps attractive in his own charming, charismatic way.
He enjoys his considerable powers of persuasion. Good things have a way
of falling into Bernie’s lap. Bernie leads his life according to the
Buick principle - aka - you spend all your time working towards some
goal, missing out on fun…then one day you step off the curb and bang,
get hit by a Buick. Buicks don't care about your plan. Also a college
grad, he is fully capable of doing whatever he puts his mind to, and
right now his mind is set on freedom and adventure and experiencing the
good life in Manhattan Beach, but it's equally important to Bernie that
his buddy Fitz is along for the bromantic ride. SERIES
REGULAR
I think Jason could play either of these roles. Bernie seems like the obvious choice, but the devil-may-care attitude may be a little too close to previous roles. He could mix it up a bit with a role like Fitz -- perhaps a bit closer to Charlie in Body Politic.
----
The second possibility is True Love - a comedy for CBS set in New York and following four friends looking for .... you guessed it.
Minka Kelly has already been cast in this, but the 2 male leads are still open, as far as I know. Not real sure about the premise here -- it sounds like it's been done -- but if execs happened to like the chemistry between Jason's Charlie and Minka's character Frankie in Body Politic last year, then there might be a possibility with this one.
I apologize for not having links for these. The plotlines and casting calls were available on SpoilerTV until just recently. Now I'm not finding them.
So, Jason fans, any thoughts? Other possibilities?
But I do admit, the pilot for True Love sounds interesting for him...even though I don't watch comedies. I'm more of a drama girl myself. 
But both shows actually show promise, in my opinion. I like the idea of Jason and Minka Kelly, too. 
, so I'm not sure about True Love.
