Jason Hoyte

Since scoring Billy T and Chapman Tripp awards while he was half of madcap comedy duo Sugar & Spice (alongside Jonathan Brugh), Jason Hoyte has applied his ample talents to comedy, drama, radio and voiceover work. Often cast as the smooth-talking but dodgy man in a suit (Shortland Street, taxman tale We're Here to Help), Hoyte has also regularly played comical co-host with Leigh Hart. He stole the screen in school satire Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby, as dodgy guidance counsellor Steve Mudgeway.

Jason played the vain, treacherous, shallow Steve so blindingly well I said to Danny (Mulheron) when he had gone that it was almost unfair to audition anyone else... Tom Scott, on auditions for Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby
