What it all boils down to is, we are all people, and we all have the same human desires. It just happens that some desires go this way and some desires go that way. It's sad when people are oppressed. But it's a question of rising above it. Personally, mentally and, if you have to, physically.

Jaye from article in the The San Francisco Chronicle.

Jaye was born in Riverside, California in 1968 the son of a Ghanaian father and English mother. The family left for England when Jaye was 2 and a half, with his two sisters were brought up by their mother, a single parent, in Hertfordshire. Jaye left school at 16 and had been alternately unemployed and doing odd jobs (running for a production company, working in a factory) ever since. Jaye had no real acting experience when discovered by a casting associate at a wrap party for Derek Jarman's Edward II. He was working as a fashion designer at the time and took the role for the money.

"My only real previous acting experience was when I was working for Walt Disney Productions and had to visit sick children in hospital dressed in a Pluto costume. I got mobbed.".

Jaye

After his 1993 Academy Award nomination for The Crying Game, Jaye commented:

"Very funny. . . It's not because I'm good, it's because it was an interesting role. It was the role that was nominated, not me. I really think that most of this is a fluke."

Since his brush with movie fame, Jaye has spent his time doing big-name fashion shoots: Steven Meisel for Italian Vogue; Michael Roberts for Joseph; a GAP ad by Annie Leibowitz. And he accompanied Kate Moss to the British Fashion Awards. In Paris at Valentino's jet-set party in honour of Sharon Stone, he accompanied Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington.

If Jaye hadn't been a completely convincing woman, my character would have looked stupid.
