Career

It wasn’t easy for him in the gay community; he claims that gays like masculine men, and Jaye was simply not built that way since he was very thin and he also had long hair which was not something which gay man liked. He changed his appearance through the years, cut his hair completely, started going to the gym and got a few tattoos.

Trivia
The reason behind his decision to quit acting is the fact that Jaye didn’t like the fame at all. Even though it was his first role, his performance in “The Crying Game” was ranked number 92 in the Premiere Magazine’s “100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time”. He didn’t want to act in “Stargate”, but didn’t want to refuse either, which was why he decided to ask for $1 million for the role because he thought nobody would agree to that.
