Jason Genao Net Worth: Height, Age, Bio, Career & Girlfriend

Jason Genao is an American actor who is best known for being a part of the popular teen comedy-drama series called On My Block which can be streamed on Netflix. In the series, Genao plays a character named Ruby Martinez. As of 2022, Jason Genao net worth is estimated to be around $500,000.

Early Life

Genao’s parents are from the Dominican Republic and so he is also of Dominican descent. However, Genao grew up in New Jersey since his family migrated here. He studied at William L. Dickinson High School and would only start his involvement in acting when he was 16 years of age.

This was because at the time he had the limiting belief that said to him that becoming an actor from the kind of background he is from would be unreachable. Though Genao had almost given up on pursuing acting, a French film he watched would become the source of inspiration for him in getting into acting.

As a result, while he was still in high school, he became enrolled in the most affordable acting program that he could find. His hard work and perseverance would pay off as he managed to get a role in the series called The Get Down and was also part of an episode in Law and Order: SVU.

However, getting these roles was not easy as he failed in his first audition and so he even searched for how to audition on Google for tricks to improve in his next audition. After getting these roles, he especially expressed his gratitude to his hard-working father and brother who funded his acting school programs.
