Jason Emanuel Gould (/ɡuːld/; born December 29, 1966) is an American actor and singer.

Early life

Gould was born on December 29, 1966, in New York City, the only child of singer and actress Barbra Streisand and actor Elliott Gould.^[1]^[2] His parents separated in 1969 and divorced July 9, 1971.^[3] He is Jewish.^[4]

Career

Gould appeared as Mike Cameron in the romantic comedy-drama film Say Anything... (1989)^[5] and the romantic drama film The Prince of Tides (1991) (which was directed by and starred his mother)^[6] but has seldom appeared in front of the camera since then.

In 1997, he made his West End theatre début in the drama play The Twilight of the Golds at the Arts Theatre in London; he played the part of David Gold, a theatre-designer.^[7]

Gould wrote, produced, and directed the short comedy film Inside Out (1997), playing Aaron in the story of the child of two celebrities who is outed by the tabloids. His father Elliott Gould played his father in the short film, and his half-brother Sam Gould played his brother.^[8] The short was later combined with other features for the compilation film Boys Life 3 (2000).^[9]

Gould has since focused on a singing career. He released the 2012 EP Jason Gould, with the single "Morning Prayer/Groove" the following year. Gould performed with his mother during her 2012 North American and 2013 European Barbra Live tour.^[10] The two recorded "How Deep Is the Ocean?" for her 2014 album Partners.^[11] Gould released the album Dangerous Man in 2017.^[1]

Personal life

At the age of 21, Gould came out to his parents as gay.^[12] By 1991, he was outed by tabloids.^[13] In an interview with The Advocate published on August 17, 1999, Streisand said:^[14]

I would never wish for my son to be anything but what he is. He is bright, kind, sensitive, caring, and a very conscientious and good person. He is a very gifted actor and filmmaker. What more could a parent ask for in their child? I have been truly blessed. Most parents feel that their child is particularly special, and I am no different. I have a wonderful son. My only wish for my son, Jason, is that he continues to experience a rich life of love, happiness, joy, and fulfillment, both creatively and personally.
