Jay has done many things in film and television
and is best known for his roles in General Hospital and Soda Springs.
In A Matter Of Faith, he is terrific playing the caring father of
Stephen Whitaker who is concerned about his daughter’s spiritual welfare.  This is a role model that fathers and young men will want to emulate.  Jay is one of the nicest guys and easiest people to deal with
that we have ever met.

as the “Judge” on the TV series, Night Court and for other roles such as
Dave’s World,  Harry is very convincing in his role as the intelligent
Professor Kaman.  You’ll find yourself challenged and intrigued by his
