Actor Jason Lee is perhaps best known for his roles in films like Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and other Kevin Smith movies, and of course the title role in the TV series My Name Is Earl.
But you might not be aware of his other career as a photographer. In fact, he recently published a book of photos specifically focused on Galveston.
Last weekend, the Galveston Historical Foundation hosted an event unveiling the book, and Lee was in attendance to talk about it and to sign copies.
In the audio above, Houston Matters producer Troy Schulze talks with Lee, starting with how his career shifted from professional skateboarding to acting to photography.
And they discuss how Lee ended up taking photos of Galveston in November 2020 in the height of the pandemic and how that factor lent itself to particularly interesting photos.
