Jason Lewis Spotted After Three-Year Hiatus!

He was the hunky model who romanced 's Samantha Jones on Sex And The City.

Jason Lewis went on to have a thriving acting career as he starred in Charmed, Beverly Hills, 90210, House, Brothers & Sisters and How I Met Your Mother. 

But then three years ago he wiped his Instagram page clean and took a break from working in Hollywood.

On Tuesday the 54-year-old actor broke his silence with a video posted to Instagram where he was walking on a beach in a tropical location.

'After three years, it was time,' read his caption. In the video he said that in 2023 'I went quiet. Not because I have nothing to say but because I had something to do.'

The ruggedly handsome actor added, 'The kind of creative work that doesn't leave room for much else, and I made my peace with that.

'It's the kind of work that needs to find it's people, though. I'm still in it but I am far enough along now that it felt like it was time to resurface and share what I've been doing.'

Lewis signed off with, 'More to come.'

He was last seen in 2022 when he competed Dancing With The Stars but was the first to be eliminated from the show.

Lewis' character on Sex And The City was a young waiter and aspiring actor who was seduced by series lead Jones, played by Cattrall.

Samantha, who convinced him to change his name from Jerry Jerrod to Smith, used her PR connections to land him a major modeling gig which led to a film role.

Their relationship, which started off as casual, later turned serious after he supported Jones through her battle with breast cancer.

When the series ended in 2004, the couple were still together and in love. However, Jason played Smith again in 2008's Sex and the City: The Movie and the two characters broke up after Samantha moved to Los Angeles.

Lewis returned for the 2010 sequel Sex And The City 2 and it appeared that Smith and Samantha were still on good terms as he invited her to be his date to his new action film's premiere.

In 2021, Lewis said he would not appear in ...And Just Like That.

In an interview with the Daily Front Row, the actor said he was asked if he had been approached to return to the franchise. 

'I have not, but I would be the last to know!' the star said. He added, 'As much as I appreciate the flattery, the conversation is about the girls.' Filming for the revival is set to begin later this spring.

In late 2019, the actor proposed to his girlfriend, producer Liz Godwin.

He opened up about the proposal in a February 2020 interview with People magazine. 

'To keep Liz from suspecting anything, I organized a climbing [and] beach day out at Point Dume, Malibu, with friends and family gathered for the holidays,' Jason said. 'We set Liz up to climb a cliff right over the water, just before sunset.'

'My buddies and I then sprinted up a back trail to the climb so I could be waiting for her at the top,' he continued. 'I anchored myself to the rock — clipped her to me, just in case — then got on one knee and did "the thing."'

Lewis dated actress Rosario Dawson from 2005 to 2006.
