When you are making a measly $40 a day that extra $5 helps a LOT.

girl (Jennifer D). He dated her
when they were twelve- his first girlfrend. He was her first kiss. I dated her when she
was
eighteen (and I was 23).
He initially thought I was Michael Rappaport so he approached me in between takes and
that's
when I told him I had dated Jennifer and that she says "hello". He freaked out and
for the rest of the day he folowed me
around the set and asked me all about her. He was
a cool guy. Sad to read he is now gone. Jennifer called me the day it
was in the news...

Bottle Rocket
Movie 4/29/95 Diner
Up Close and Personal
Movie 5/2/95 SWAT Team

wrote all those songs for Elvis Presley and also

The Price Of
Love T.V. Movie 8/29/95 Gay Porno Star
This
one was a doozy The night before I was told I would be playing
a film crew person and I arrived to be handed my wardrobe:
a pair
of boxers and a robe. I got the bonus plan. I was known on the set as
porno boy and the director had
me make eyes at the other actor for
the scene. My mother was the first person I called to let her know
first
from me that I indeed was playing a homosexual thespian- but
not for real! Thank god the final cut had me blurry on
the bed in the
background. And it WAS just a movie-of-the week: no real smut going
on. Of course all of my friends
and family were well informed and I
still havent heard the end of it
Lois and Clark

Sweet Mouthful
Movie 10/27/95 I dont remember
It wasnt anything like the
name suggested- I remember that much!
Spy Hard Movie
11/9-10/95 Secret Agent
This was funny. I was in a clear tube
silent chamber and the gag
was that I was trapped inside trying to get out in the background of
the scene-
but nobody could hear me- so for two days we shot it and
then I went go see it and they had cut me out and re-shot
the whole
thing without it The dailies were funny!
Coke
Commercial 11/28-29/95 Pole Vaulter
Made a lot of money to hold a pole for a couple

with more sparkles.

Buddy
Movie 10/23-24/96 Theatre Goer
Sea Changes
Movie 10/28/96 Beach Bum
Matt Dillon was in this. I had met
him on location on the set of "Singles" filmed on the
"Ave" (University Way) in Seattle when I was attending the University
of Washington in
'90. He was way too busy to chat then and thus I had no interest in talking with him this
time. Oh,
well.. maybe he's a cool guy.
Gattaca Movie
11/21/96 Diner
I was actually considered as a stand-in for Ethan Hawke for this. But I was too tall and
light-haired.
Uma Thurman introduced herskef to me at the interview. What a BABE. That
was before they were and item. A few months later
I was an extra in a re-shoot scene and
they were definitely together. Damn.

indeed.
Sapparo Beer
Commercial 2/97 Beach Bum

on the beach. Yesss...
Keri Cosmetics Commercial 4/97
Paparazzi
The irony in this was that I played a photographer that day- then
that night I went to my friends movie
premiere and walked down the
red carpet with the real paparazzi taking my picture- of course they
didnt know
who the hell I was ;^)!!!
Pepsi/Star Wars Commercial 3/99 T.V. Camera Man
They had us look up at the camera
as if it was a SPACE SHIP flying
down and swooping over us at the "Star Wars" premiere.
IBM Commercial 5/17/02
Executive
My first "principal" role in a commercial with Residuals$
detials here:
IBM Commercial
AMEX Commercial 8/17/02 Stock Broker
I was just an extra but because it was a Saturday shoot it
was $600!! And I may get
"upgraded" to Principal with Residual$ if I am recognizable in the final cut. There
were about
50 of us in the "American Stock Echange" set and they did shoot some angles
featuring me- so if they are used then it could
be a big payday ;^)
Public Service Announcemnet 8/30/02 High School Student
"I Was A Teenage Drug Free American"
...
yes I played a HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT in a commercial spot for the Partnership For A
Drug Free America... I am 33 years old.
And yes, I had even experimented with drugs in my
past. And I hadn't sat in a high school classroom since 1987... and
yet everyone there
said I LOOKED THE PART... even funnier: we were PASSING NOTES during the whole shoot!!
LOL!
I entertained the cute girl in front of me by writing Morrissey lyrics that were composed
by Moz years before she
was even born- and when I was about her age... GAWD the thing
about these young actresses is all they want to do is flirt
and use me for sex- they
never appreciate my mind...
(ha ha ha)
The "star" of the commercial gets
a BLOODY NOSE in the middle of class and everyone
starts staring at her- the result of her COKE ADDICTION...
Life
is good.
the URL to one of the mindless boredom-inspired scribblings I did at my desk: scribble
at the top middle: my view the cute girl sitting in front of me, when she wasn't busy
trying
to flirt and get down my pants
(insert another laugh here)
next to her: my view from my corner desk
of the kid in the middle of the classroom who
gets a bloody nose from her secret little COKE habit during Algebra
below
that: partial lyrics to cool song I don't know the name of from a tape of obscure
bands I also don't know that my friend
made for me in 1993
below that: two football pass plays I'd like the Seattle Seahawks to run this year on
their
way to the Super Bowl
below that, left: A rough sketch of the "Hacienda"- the circular night club from the
movie
"24 Hour Party People" about the "Madchester" Club Scene in the early 80's

dollar Seahawks Stadium
right: Seahawks' wide reciever Darrel Jackson extends his arms for a spectacular game-
winning
touchdown reception on 4th down and 46 yards to go with no time left on the clock
@ Quallcomm Stadium in San Diego to
clinch this year's SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP beating
the Oakland Raiders 42-37 in the best game ever played in the history
of pro sports
below that: a play designed for running back Sean Alexander to bust off tackle for a huge
gain.
ahhhh... high school... it's like I never left...
----
Amazon.Com Commercial 10/02
It
will run seasonally at X-Mas time for the next few years (hopefully) ... there were
about 20 of us on the set... It's
supposed to be Winter Holiday Season and we are all in
line with packages at the Post Office and generally pissed off at
the long wait with a
horrid jingle jangle holiday tune blaring in the background... I'm guessing that the Ad
will
focus on how using Amazon.Com this Holiday Season will allow you to avoid painfully
long lines like ours... It was hysterical
in that we were all bundled up in heavy
coatys, hats, gloves, boots, etc. and it was a balmy sunny day in L.A. outside
the
set!!
----
AT&T Commercial 1/21/03
I played a stockbroker for a day...
It was set
in a brokerage firm - and we all watch an update on a stock that plummets-
and then everyone PANICS and the whole office
goes into a mad frenzy with people
screaming out to dump it- with papers flying everywhere and total pandemonium... we
did
about 100 takes and each one was hilarious!!
----
NEXTEL Commercial 8/12/03
I was a restaurant
patron at a real upscale-swanky place in downtown L.A. and at the next table the two stars were seated- negotiating a salary
over their phones. A fun day of pretending to eat the food in front of me for 8 hours...
pix from the set here
----
NEXTEL Commercial (Again) 12/5/03
I played an Architect in a firm downtown L.A.- we were on the
11th floor on a pretty cool set...
I was in the background so we'll see if I am recognizable in the final cut- I hope
so!!
The main characters are going from model to model blasting each architecture design and the main star is trailing
on his Nextel phone telling whoever is on the other line that the deal is going badly... Comedy ensues...
Pix are here
National City Bank (2/12/04)
Unfortunately it will only be shown in the Midwest so the only way I can see it is when they send me the tape!
The scene was a Garage Sale and I played a Bargain Hunter. I had a 6:30 AM call time and it was very chilly
so while setting up the shot I wore my own black leather jacket- the one I had for 11 years and the first time I wore
it on a visit home to Seattle my Dad hated. Well sorry Dad but the Director loved it and demanded that I wear it for the "master"
shot of me looking over a model-yacht clock and other junk to buy. A million Mid-Westerners will make up their own mind about
my old leather motorcycle jacket. Well, sadly a month later that jacket was stolen from cool 80's New Wave club in Hollywood. Oh,
well- it will be saved forever on film... 
This was fun: 4 locations in one day! Three were Downtown L.A. with construction workers and subway riders- and the
last location was in Echo Park at a market. I walked by in the background a few times for that one.
Fruit of the Loom (5/11/04)
Yes the famous Fruit costumes are still in use
I was an audience memebr at a "Seminar" that was giving away "free underwear" but the joke was we all got subjected to
a Tony Robbins- style motivational spiel by the Fuit of the Loom gang proclaiming "Change Your Underwear- Change Your Life!"
It was all very funny and they gave me a speaking line when they shoved a microphone in my face asking me what I was there
for: "For the free underwear!" was my reply... Unfortunately they didn't keep it in the final cut!!
It's New Year's Eve in Times Square in New York City (but we actually filmed on parking lot in Studio City, California
with a "blue screen" behind us) and we count down the seconds as the ball drops! I was in the crowd dressed as a cold Manhattan-ite
you can see me in the larger shot for about a second in the front row of revelers ;^)
MetLife Commercial (2/9/05)
Set in a typical suburban neighborhood, an Asian couple (the Woos) have won a free surprise vacation and "total makeover"
of their home and the cheesy announcer congratulates them in the street in front of their house- but to their surprise the
wrecking crew demolishes the NEIGHBOR'S place- they had the wrong address... comedy ensues!! I was an extra playing an onlooking
neighbor ;^)
Enjoy the pix from the set HERE
I also took a video of the house getting crunched - watch it HERE if you want to see that - it is way cool!
Day 11 (short film) 5/7/05
I played a U.S. soldier in Iraq who get killed in the opening scene. Watch the film here: http://www.starwaypictures.com/day11/
Under Her Thumb (Part 1) short webisode 12/11/06
Here is a very rough short film I am in by a first-timer in our Fox Theatre Group named Aldria Walker:
http://peerproducer.com/index.php?option=com_videoeggspress&Itemid=48
Select "Under Her Thumb" - it was for her film-making class so she got Actors from our FTG.
She had never used
a DV camera in her life and also the editing and sound is very rushed but hey not bad for her not having had any experience
at all!
Budweiser Commercial 2/13/07
I worked on an Anheuser-Busch commercial called "Good Clean Fun"
In it I played a Zebra. For 11 hours I wore a Zebra costume.
So they flew in REAL college mascots from all over the country, including Arizona State's SUN DEVIL
and Penn State's NITTANY LION - and even the real TRAVELER the Horse from USC! These guys were the real deal! Me, I was just
an Actor in a Zebra costume.
My role was to mock the Ref my imitating his every move while he gives a pep talk to the collection
of Mascots gathered on a basketball court (filmed on location at the Pyramid @ Long Beach State University)
FUN TIMES!
Jay the Zebra
Nip/Tuck 6/25/07
Well after partying until 1:01 AM at the L.A. Depeche Mode Convention Sunday
night and taking website pix for my friends who promoted it (my pix are posted online here http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaytando/sets/72157600504070774/ ) I was on the set the very next morning for a 7 AM call time for the T.V. show
"Nip/Tuck"
I was a "stand-in" for one of the guest Actors named John Cantwell in a scene set in a dance
club. Great guy. I look sort of like him so they used me as his double to set the lighting for his scene. And when I wasn't
needed for that I was an "Extra" in the background - and get this: they handed me a camera and told me to "be that guy
who takes pix of the people at a club".
HOW DID THEY KNOW?
TYPECASTING!!
;^)
Hehehehe well it was a fun FIFTEEN HOUR day - despite hardly any sleep the night before- look for
me in the background snapping away pix of all the HOT CHICKS in the scene - I have no idea when it will air but I do
know the episode wil also have guest star Lauren Hutton as well!! She looks GREAT!
-----
Playstation 3 Commercial 9/27/07
Well I just
wrapped a National Commercial for Sony Playstation's "Buzz" videogame.
The premise
is a family is camping in the woods and encounter a grizzly bear. After freaking out the bear leaves and they wonder what
type of bear it is and they are magically transported into a living room set where the Playstation game "Buzz" is set up-
like a Game Show where they press the buzzer button on the controller to be the first to guess the right answer.
I played one of the dozen people in the living room cheering them on. I am seated on the couch next to the cute 16-year blonde
daughter.
They shot
the bear first on Green Screen. They did not let us in on the Set for that shooting but I did see him in the trailer- the
beast was HUGE- over 1,000 pounds and nine feet tall standing up!
It was
a fun day and it should be airing Nationally soon- so look out for me wearing khaki pants and a tan T-shirt and glasses cheering
on the "Buzz" family!
-----
NBA
commercial 10/29 & 10/30/08
Wow!
We filmed 5 commercial promo spots for the NBA over 2 days! I played a tourist on a tour bus
that virtually took us to several NBA arenas around the country- including L.A., San Antonio, Cleveland, and Detroit!
We were shrunk down to tiny little 1-inch tall people and the bus was only a foot tall- so the players became 100 -foot tall
giants! Ah the magic of the green screen! We just wrapped a 20-hour filming day !
----
Jay in Wells Fargo Bank Commercial!
Wednesday 4/22/09 I played a Dad moving in
my Daughter to College on the USC Campus for a Wells Fargo Bank commercial. It involved moving her stuff into her Dorm. Lots
of lifting and millions of takes.. fun times and excellent $ over 12 hours of shooting!
Hopefully it will air soon- so look for me!
Funny that technically I am indeed old enough to be the Father of a college student
– as I will be 40 in June and the kid is supposed to be 18 – but the Actress was actually 27!! They all thought
I could have been a student on the set!

Jay in Castrol Oil Commercial 5/29/09
I was an "extra" in this. In the first shot they had me in the bckground walking to the burger
joint to pick up my order as a blue car full of coins stops and the passnegr opens the door and a bunch of coins spill out.
In the 2nd shot they changed my clothes and had me standing at a bus stop waiting as the blue car full of coins drives by.

Jay in Discover Card commercial 7/16/09
Today I played a Bartender in a Discover Card commercial shot at a bar in Hollywood. It was supposed
to be an Irish Pub and I looked the part so I ended up being the drink-slinger serving the same 3 beers to the 3 main Actors
about 100 times. There were about 15 other extras that I took fake drink orders from and faked pouring fake drinks to
;^)
A quick shoot as I am used to being on a set for several hours- but this one was *bang* done
in about 2 hours!
Good times- hope I made it into the final cut!
Cheers,
Jay

Jay and Jon in Alien movie called "Paul" 8/20/09
I got my brother Jon and me cast as "extras" in a film about a pair of friends from
England who are comic-book dorks and go to the San Diego Comic-Con. Jon and I are attendees of the event in the
background. I am wearing a Captain Kirk costume and Jon went as himself. The friends later drive to Nevada and find an Alien
named "Paul" who alledgedly looks like a dog. More info here: http://www.whatispaul.com/
Cheers,
Jay
