Jonathan Torrens (born October 2, 1972) is a Canadian actor, comedian, and television personality best known for his role as J-Roc on Trailer Park Boys.

Degrassi connections
Torrens has several connections to Degrassi. The first episode of Street Cents reportedly features appearances from several Degrassi High actors. In December 1999, Torrens reunited many of the original Degrassi cast on Jonovision, in what has been described as the highest-rated episode in the show's history and a catalyst for the eventual development of Degrassi: The Next Generation. This culminated in Torrens appearing on The Next Generation, where he replaced Billy Parrott in the role of Shane McKay in the episode "Father Figure".
