AS AN ACTOR HE SEEMS TO HAVE IT ALL:
LOOKS, PHYSICALITY, INSTINCTS, EMOTIONAL DEPTH,
STRENGTH, VULNERABILTY...

Jay has managed to captivate the audiences all over the World in the last few years, you may have seen him on screen flirting with Meryl Streep, marching to Civil War with Jude Law, galloping across New Mexico with Cate Blanchett and Tommy Lee Jones; and winning Keri Russell's heart in Steven Spielberg's recent mini-series Into the West.

Currently he can be seen in Pathfinder opposite Karl Urban and Clancy Brown defying the odds as a fierce warrior battling the Vikings.

Undeniably, good things have been happening for the rising star Jay Tavare, whose costarring role in 2003's The Missing was preceded by a stepladder of high-profile gigs as a Seminole orchid thief in Adaptation (2002) and as a Cherokee warrior for the Confederate Army in
Cold Mountain (2003).

Many fans also remember him as "Vega" the Spanish Ninja in the cult
Martial Arts Classic Street Fighter.
