So many have tried to describe me lately, so I thought I have a go myself.
After all who knows me better, than the observer who has traveled with me all along.
I've never been the type to try to define myself, I've always thought of myself as a Citizen of Earth, in fact my name JAY, comes from the much older Latin name Gaia or the protector of Earth.
I believe we are one race, the human race and as different as we may look from one another if you peel the surface the emotional content is the same.
We all feel love and pain, and we are inspired by acts of bravery and self sacrifice, we are really more a like than we like to admit.
As an actor, I see myself as a process, always changing and re inventing myself . I know some have described me as multi ethnic, but that only applies to me because I was raised in more than one culture, and not because I have more than one blood in my veins.
I have lived, in Europe and Asia and America's... I have traveled all over the world and spend time learning about other cultures, I speak several languages, beside the Native languages I know. I did most of this before I became an actor, which is really only an artistic out let for my soul and there is so much more to who I am than my profession.
I was put in a boarding school when I was very young, my sponsored parents, which is what I call them, as I did not live with them, but they paid my bills till I landed a sport scholarship to my European private school.
I was always interested in Science and Biology & Bio chemistry and how the human body and mind works so I thought I would become a Dr. and I studied to be one.
But I found my stage in sport arena's, where the sound of excitement from the audience, would push me to rise to the occasion, and perform my very best.
This passion lead me to theater and national commercials and I was in a band or two, who did some gigs all over Europe, and I did win the World Free Style Dance Championship, when I was a young teen, with my Acrobatic break dancing electric body popping routine, which for the mid 80's was brand new and I can honestly say I was there at the birth of B Boys and hip hop and I was a head of my time.
My Indian life came to me as I reached into American history and found so many stories that were left out of the history books. I did extensive research for each of my roles and as I became the characters I portrayed I took a piece of them with me.
I am not a spoke person for any tribe or race and I feel I represent all people of color in Hollywood and not just Indians to which I have a close heritage.
I try to help others but I do not claim saint hood and I do not want to be a role model although if others follow me that is okay by me.
I base my life on what I have learned. I have had many great teachers in my life but my best asset has been my never ending thirst for the unknown and intangible...
With all my heart...
