==Early life==
London was born in [[San Diego]], [[California]], the son of Debbie ([[married and maiden names|née]] Osborn), a waitress, and Frank London, a [[sheet metal]] worker. He was raised mainly in [[DeSoto, Texas]]. After having divorced Jason's father, his mother moved the family 13 times in six years. His [[identical twin]] brother, [[Jeremy London|Jeremy]], is younger by 27 minutes and is also an actor, working mostly in television.<ref>https://gazettereview.com/2017/02/what-happened-to-jason-london-news-and-updates/</ref> The two have acted alongside each other only once – in the February 3, 2003, episode of the [[WB Television Network|WB]]'s ''[[7th Heaven (TV series)|7<sup>th</sup> Heaven]]'', entitled "Smoking." 

The twin boys had a younger sister, Dedra, who was also an actor. Dedra London died in a car accident in 1992 at the age of 16.<ref>{{cite web |title=Dedra London |website=IMDb |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1395936/}}</ref>

London began his career in his junior year of high school. His brother, Jeremy, wanted to audition for the movie ''The Man in the Moon'' (1991)''.'' London gave his brother a ride to the audition and tried for the part as well. He resulted in getting the part and his brother was his stunt double.<ref>{{Cite web |last=McConnico |first=Patricia |date=1999-05-01 |title=Jason and Jeremy London |url=https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/jason-and-jeremy-london/ |access-date=2023-08-28 |website=Texas Monthly |language=en}}</ref>

London later received what would become his most popular role as Randall “Pink” Floyd in the movie ''Dazed and Confused'' (1993)''.''
