Its awesome to find some sorta updated info on Jason Presson. Glad to hear he is well. I was checking up on him after watching the Explorers again today with my 3 yr old. To comment on the updated Explorer movie post I agree would be nice to have a new one. What I dont agree with is the writers obvious lack of appreciation for Jim Hensons characters and work. My daughter loves the old movie and just about every movie that has Jim Henson characters in it. It goes to show kids and people today dont just have to watch all CGI movies. Some old school real Jim Henson type of characters can and are just as creative and great to watch!

Thanks again for your Jason post I was having a hardtime finding anysort of recent news on him. And as a fan I like to check in on some of the actors I grew up with.

While so many of us dream of what could have been- for Mr. Presson as well as his fans had he been the “Ethan Hawke” of Explorers- it’s nice to know that some of the talented actors in Hollywood remove themselves from the negativity that surrounds that lifestyle so they may pursue happiness rather than money and fame.

It’s funny, really, how much we are affected by what we watch. And, thankfully, I saw Darren Woods as a role model. Quiet but strong, thoughtful, willing to stand up against play ground bullies. No young person can convey the strength, sensitivity and compassion as seen in this character unless he or she embodies these traits. You simply cannot coach these behaviors in one so young.

Thank you for being one of the good guys, Mr. Presson.

By the way- the absolutely most adorable of the three boys starring in Explorers- hands down!

Wow, Jason was my number one crush back when lady in white came out! He seems to have captured many fans through the roles he played. Hope he’s still healthy and happy, whatever he’s doing these days. Please send him best regards.

I wish I knew Jason cause he seems very down to earth and very sweet. There’s no way you could set it up where I could meet him…is there?

just wanted everyone to know that ‘explorers’ is streaming on netflix right now. when this movie came out, i was about the same age as jason presson and had the biggest crush on him (or his character in the movie anyway). you know, the brooding type. heh. i’ve always thought he was a terrific actor, and like most folks who commented, wished he was in many more movies. glad to hear he is well. wish he had more of an online presence, but thanks for passing all our messages along. best of luck to you both.

I just watched the movie Explorers and one called The B.R.A.T. Patrol with Sean Astin. I have to say Jason is a wonderful actor in both movies plus his other ones I’ve seen. He seems very sweet and down to earth. It is a shame he’s not in the acting biz anymore cause he was awesome. I would love to meet him one day. I’m glad to know he’s doing good.

Since no-one has pasted anything in awhile, i figured it was time.

Jason,was the simply the “coolest” kid around.
I’m quite happy he is alive and well.
I was in the music business for much too long, i avoided the
nonsense of drugs etc. and just the whole music scene was nothing more than an immense pain the butt.
So i can relate to Jason eventually steering clear of hollywood,and the nonsense that goes with it.
He is not forgotten by his fans at any rate.
I believe one of the best moments of my life would be the day i bump into him, shake his hand, and thank him greatly for just
“being himself”.
Some call him a legend, he has indeed earned that title and respect.
Please let him know, he is never forgotten.

[...] Jason telephoned to say he was in town. Jason Presson is one of my childhood actor buddies (see ~ Jason ~ ). He was in town helping Corey Feldman with his music tour. Mary and I met up with him for pizza [...]

I saw jason for the first time in a long time recently. He is doing well in his career field now, not acting. The death of fellow childhood actor Corey Haim hit home, Jason is good friends with Corey Feldman. He never got into any drugs or anything, if he drinks, its a couple beers. He is very lucky considering the period he is from. It was just good to see him and talk to him again.
