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.

Jason Gould spoke about how he came out to his parents at the age of 21.
