Jason Emanuel Gould (born December 29, 1966;
New York City) is an American actor, writer and director.
Gould is the son of singer/actress Barbra Streisand and actor Elliott Gould, who
divorced July 9, 1971. Gould spent his formative years around major
Hollywood players in Los Angeles, California. His Bar
Mitzvah was held at the Shul on the Beach.[1]
Career
Gould has appeared in Say Anything... (1989) and the
Streisand-directed film The Prince of Tides (1991),
but has since rarely appeared in front of the camera. In 1997 he
made his West
End debut in the play The Twilight of the
Golds at the Arts Theatre in which he played the part
of David, an opera designer. In 1997 he also wrote, produced and
directed the short film Inside Out, playing Aaron in the
humorous story of the child of two celebrities who is outed by the
tabloids. His real life father, Elliott Gould, also played his father in
the short film. The short was later combined with other features
for Boys Life
3 (2000).
Personal
life
About 1991, tabloids outed Gould as being gay. In an interview with The Advocate
published August 17, 1999, Barbra Streisand said:[2]
- 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.
- Nobody on this earth has the right to tell anyone that their
love for another human being is morally wrong. I will never forget
how it made me shudder to hear Pat Buchanan say that he stood 'with George Bush
against the immoral idea that gay and lesbian couples should have
the same standing in law as married men and women.' Who is Pat
Buchanan to pronounce anyone's love invalid? How can he deny the
profound love felt by one human being for another? ...
Unfortunately, however, as long as people like Newt Gingrich and
Pat Buchanan continue in public life, the fight to codify gay
marriages will be a tough battle to win.
