Jason Gould was born December 26, 1966 in New York City, to Barbra Streisand and Elliot Gould, who divorced a few years later. Both parents would go on to become major stars, and Jason spent his formative years around major Hollywood players. He remains close to both of his parents.
Gould appeared in such films as Say Anything (1989) and received critical acclaim for his work in the Streisand-directed film Prince of Tides (1991), but has since rarely appeared in front of the camera. In 1997 he wrote, produced and directed the short film Inside Out, also appearing in the humorous story of the child of 2 celebrities who is outed by the tabloids (Elliot Gould played his father). The short was later combined with other features for Boys Life 3 (2000) and can be seen on cable via the Sundance Channel.
Gould has never hidden his homosexuality, but has always kept his private life private. In 1991 some tabloids reported a false story claiming he was going to marry another man. In late 2003 such media outlets as Drudge and Rush Limbaugh revealed Gould had recently been diagnosed with HIV, and they used his illness to criticize his mother as well as CBS' controversial biography of Ronald Reagan (which starred Gould's stepfather, James Brolin).
