After starring in his own groundbreaking series (Action), produced by Joel Silver, Jay played the lead role for two seasons on the critically-acclaimed CBS comedy Gary Unmarried. He has guest-starred on over 50 television dramas and comedy series.

He continues to sell out theaters across the country, where he makes the same invitation to every audience: "Lets just jump off a cliff together and build our wings on the way down!"
