The following year, Mewes reprised the role of Jay in “Mallrats,” and in 1996, he appeared in the film “Drawing Flies.” He reunited with Smith for 1997’s “Chasing Amy” and 1999’s “Dogma,” then he appeared in the films “The Blair Clown Project” (1999), “Spilt Milk” (1999), and “Vulgar” (2000) and had a cameo as Jay in “Scream 3” (2000).

Personal Life
Jason married Jordan Monsanto on January 30, 2009, and they welcomed daughter Logan Lee on April 1, 2015. Mewes has struggled with drug addiction, and he started using heroin after filming “Mallrats.” Kevin Smith moved Jason into his apartment and informed Mewes that “he was gonna kick the brown, cold turkey.” Smith took Mewes to methadone clinics, and Jason was about seven months clean when the duo began rehearsals for “Dogma.” A few weeks into the “Dogma” shoot, Mewes fell asleep in the middle of a scene after he began using heroin again. He was arrested for heroin possession in 1999 and was sentenced to drug counseling and community service.
