Jason Mitchell Street〔 is a fictional character in the NBC/DirecTV (The 101 Network) television drama ''Friday Night Lights'', portrayed by Scott Porter. Introduced as the small town "All-American," Jason was the starting quarterback of the Dillon Panthers, with a promising future career, until an injury during the season-opening football game results in paraplegia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scott Porter )〕 Jason's story arc is focused on his adjusting to life and carving out a niche for himself outside of Panthers football. In Season 3, due to Porter leaving the show, Jason moves to New York City after landing an entry-level position at a sports agency and to be near his infant son. The character was inspired by the real-life events in the career of David Edwards, a high school player in San Antonio, Texas.〔(Player paralyzed in high school game dies at 20; inspired pilot of "Friday Night Lights" )〕〔(Paralyzed high school football player dies )〕 ==Characterization and background== Jason is portrayed as a confident, affable, charismatic and popular all-American high school student from a middle-class home with loving and supportive, although sometimes over-protective, parents. Despite his social status as a jock and star quarterback, he is well-liked by everyone, young and old, in both his school and the community (including the notoriously difficult and loud-mouthed Buddy Garrity). Tim Riggins once called him "the heart" of the Panthers team and as the season progresses, it becomes apparent that he still commanded his former teammates' respect and loyalty, even from his wheelchair. Throughout the season he is seen supporting the Panthers, be it from his hospital bed or by personally coaching his successor Matt Saracen before practices. Early in season 1 it is established that Jason is a seventeen-year-old high school senior at Dillon High School and by season 3 he is around age twenty. Whether Jason completed high school or not was left ambiguous, although Mrs. Taylor makes a brief mention of Jason having only several classes left to graduate, but actor Scott Porter clarified during the cast Q&A session at the Museum of Television & Radio at the conclusion of season 1 that Jason did get his GED. He is presumably the only child of Mitchell and Joanne Street (there is no mention of siblings). He and Julie Taylor are the only original main characters in high school who come from stable, two-parent families, in contrast to the others, all of whom come from divorced or single-parent homes or families with absent parental figures. Jason is best friends with Tim Riggins, his fullback. They have known each other, and Jason's (ex) girlfriend Lyla Garrity, since middle school. Their friendship was tested in Season 1 when Tim sleeps with Lyla to cope with his feelings of guilt and self-hatred as he felt he could have prevented Jason's injury by tackling the defensive player before Jason did. Throughout the show they are seen supporting each other almost unconditionally and bailing one another out of trouble. Prior to his injury, Jason was dating Lyla, who was then captain of the cheerleading team, and had an on-off relationship and brief engagement before circumstances led them to break up for good; as of Season 2 they were on speaking terms and still good friends. Of the adult characters in the show, Jason is closest to Coach Taylor, who coached him since elementary school and was his position coach in high school, and often seeks his advice.He is once a wise advice giver. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jason Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
