Hi everyone, it's Sophia. Welcome to work in progress. Hello and happy week to all my whips smarties out there. I'm really really looking

forward to today's interview. I'm going to sit down with a

fellow circus performer which is what so many of us in the industry affectionately

call the performers in the Sag After Union. Today's guest is none other than actor Jason George.

You likely know him from playing Miranda Bailey's husband Dr. Ben Warren on

Gray's anatomy and Station 19,

Jason is an absolutely incredible human,

off-screen as well as the wonderful characters

that he plays on-screen.

And today I'm going to talk to him about discovering his true calling,

having grown up a military kid on the East Coast,

how his upbringing led him to get really active within our own union, advocating

for better protection for workers, and his latest and deepest passion project working to help solve the gun violence crisis in America.

Jason is a spokesperson working to change the way that guns are portrayed in the media.

A year ago, Hollywood Health and Society at the USC Annenberg

Norman Lear Center released a really impactful and significant study surrounding

guns in the media and based on that study, HHS has teamed up with Brady, the

nation's oldest gun violence prevention organization, to raise awareness around

this incredibly human someone I feel really lucky to have as a peer in my industry both in my day job and in my activism work and I can't wait for you all to hear from him.

Enjoy. Hey, Hi Jason, how are you?

Good, how you feeling?

I'm well, thanks.
