Jay Pickett
Date of birth (location) 10 February 1961, Spokane, Washington, USA Jay Pickett was born February 10th 1961 in Spokane Washington. He grew up in Caldwell Idaho, where he graduated from Vallivue High School. He received a B.A. in acting at Boise State University and an M.F.A. in acting from UCLA, appearing in theatrical productions at both schools. Jay is five feet, eleven inches tall, has brown hair and green eyes. Jay Pickett is a self-confessed neat freak. According to him, he’s always been that way. He enjoys most sports, including football, basketball, baseball and skiing. He is also an expert roper and western rider. In the late eighties he began to have small guest roles in television series and movies. But it's hard to make a living that way and Jay had to occasionally take other jobs. He drove the Super Shuttle in California and once picked up Nicholas Pryor (Victor). The seasoned actor was nice enough to give a young Jay some advice. (And, no we don't know what it was.) Like his character, Jay Pickett also used to substitute teach on occasion In the nineties he continued to make guest appearances on Prime Time television, including Matlock and a Raymond Burr-less, Perry Mason movie. He also appeared in the feature film Rumplestilskin (with DS9 actor Max Grodenchick) and had his first soap opera appearance as Dr. Chip Lakin on Days of Our Lives He's been married since 1986 to wife Elena, a national sales manager. He has two daughters, Maegan and Michaela. For Christmas, Jay Pickett and his family always drive home to Idaho and Oregon to see both sides of the family. No Los Angeles Christmas for them. Jay's been with Port Charles since it's premiere in 1997, delivering consistently great performances in the storylines he's given. |
