Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Jason Liles of Rampage.

Before production began on Rampage  in April of 2017, 6'9" Jason Liles dedicated himself to a full 6 months of preparation: studying gorillas' physicality, their psyche, their modes of both vocal and non-vocal communication, and training on ape "arm extensions" in the Santa Monica Mountains at the hand of King Kong himself, Terry Notary (top in the field) perfecting the art of a character enhanced by motion capture. It was immediate when Jason became the frontrunner for the incredibly demanding role of 'George,' best friend to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's primatologist 'Davis Okoye' in Rampage, that the studio stop looking.

Jason was the one and only choice for the role coming to the attention of the producers via Rick Baker whom he worked with in Men in Black III  creating a niche and led to numerous roles. In fact, MIB III launched Jason Liles into a dozen movies working side by side with the most brilliant in feature film paving the way to this year's ultimate role opposite Dwayne Johnson as 'George' in Rampage (Warner Bros.). In the film, Johnson portrays a primatologist who keeps people at a distance, but shares a bond with Jason's character, 'George,' a silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth.
