Jason Wyler is a recurring character on The Rookie. He is a known sociopath as well as ex husband of Lt. Bailey Nune. He is portrayed by Steve Kazee.
According to Oscar Hutchinson's assumptions, Jason takes satisfaction from making women feel little in order to make himself feel big, as he is highly insecure about himself. He is emotionally abusive and avoids personally carrying out violent acts, instead using others to carry them out in his place.
Biography[]
Jason framed Bailey Nune by placing cocaine in her car.
In "End Game" he cut a deal with the DA to act as an informant against the Southern Front, for whom he had been laundering money. Oscar Hutchinson informed the Southern Front of this, in exchange for them lifting the hit they had placed against him. Following the operation, he broke the deal by assaulting John Nolan and was sentenced to eight years in prison.
During "Escape Plan", Oscar Hutchinson's lawyer Monica Stevens makes him a deal for escape and the latter approaches Jason for a deal. At first, Jason was uninterested until Oscar reveals John and Bailey got married, offering him escape to exact revenge if he joins him. Jason agrees and the two beat an inmate for information regarding his boss, until he gives up key facts that help. Afterwards, Stevens supplies Jason and Oscar with prison guard uniforms and a car that the two use to slip out of prison. Having gotten his freedom, Oscar asked Jason where he wants to be dropped off and Jason answers "LA, baby!"
