Jason Loyd Murphy was born on January 17, 1983, and grew up in Houston, Texas. He moved to California as a young adult to attend Pepperdine University where he graduated with a degree in theatre and television production.

A member of the SAG-AFTRA, Jason became an improv actor and directed several short movies. He also appeared in various TV commercials for companies such as Snapple, KFC, Ford, and Bud Light.

Jason was in a relationship with Dina Gregg. Three years after they met on Tinder, the couple eloped in December of 2016. They held a wedding with their family and friends in February of the following year.

Jason and Dina lived in the Frogtown neighborhood of Los Angeles with their dogs. Jason was a cancer survivor.
