About
Jay is a Florida-born L.A. based Actor/Comic. He enjoys writing vague biographies about his life in the third person and French-Toast.
Philosophy:
I believe in the power of art and the power of stories. Stories, if told correctly, have the ability to transform people, and I enjoy being a part of that process, whether it is on the stage, behind the screen or in front of the camera. I was born to entertain.
Résumé
In Britain they call this a "CV"
