Jay Donnell

Born in Paterson, New Jersey and raised in Orange County, CA. After years on the football field, he decided to choose a different path in life - acting. He began in music theatre/drama at Mission Viejo High School in Southern California, where he was encouraged by his high school drama teacher to really pursue acting. From there he flew off to Kalamazoo, MI to attend Western Michigan Univeristy where he studied Music Theatre Performance in their B.F.A. program. After life in "The Zoo," he was New York bound! After living in the city for just 5 months, he booked his first National Tour of "Miss Saigon." Since then acting has taken him around the country. He now resides in the LA area where he continues to act any and everywhere. He has been seen in major national commercial ads, and the TV/Film market as well.
