SUPPORT JAY TAYLOR

As posted earlier, Jay Taylor is running in the London marathon to raise money for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research. If you would like to donate, you can do so through this web page . You will notice that on the page his name is not "Jay" but "James" (which is his real name).

THIS AND THAT

I conducted a very brief interview with Jay Taylor (A first for this blog!) via Twitter (See below). Nothing but first class journalism on this blog! Remember you read it here first (unless you read his tweets, then you've probably already read it).

Interesting development in the Twitter-sphere: Jay Taylor is now following Gary Amers. I don't know if it means anything, but it seems strange that after all these months he would decide to finally follow a fellow member of The Churned.

More photos from Magic of the Movies, the show Gary Amers was in in Beirut, are available on the Croc Bisous FB page .

The tour of Snookered, the play that Michael Luxton is in, ends at The Nuffield Theatre in Southampton, with shows 3,4,and 5 April.

The Watch our Ads page  has returned to the Yeo Valley website (obviously due to the pressure caused by earlier posts on this blog). So there is a little bit more of The Churned on the site now, but still far from enough.

COMING SOON TO A MARATHON NEAR YOU!

Jay Taylor regularly runs to raise money for Leukaemia And Lymphoma Research [site]. He will soon be running in The London Marathon [site]. The little bio above is from the official pdf of celebrities who will be participating (This, of course, makes him officially a celebrity). The photos of him running are from the Fleet Half Marathon, which he ran in last Sunday. If you want to see them without the website name printed all over them, you can order copies here.

So if you're in or near London go show your support on marathon day. Good luck, Jay. Run like that chicken!

THE OWL

One of the iconic images from the "Forever" video is Aiden with the owl on his arm. That owl is Jaz, a tawny owl (Strix aluco) owned by Ian McGuire of Wild Owl (the photos are from her FB page). Jaz was born in 2005. She was rescued as a chick and could not be returned to the wild, so she is used to educate people about owl conservation, and occasionally works in show biz. An account of her work with The Churned (with photos) can be found here, there's also a video [It says Jaz is the cute one with the big brown eyes, but isn't that Bradley?].

The tawny owl is a native British species. You can find out more at RSPB, and at Wild Owl.

THAT'S WHAT I CALL ACTING!

Look at that expression! Yeo Valley may be very good yogurt, but it is still yogurt.

Seriously, as I have said before, I think the 4 actors who play The Churned deserve a lot of credit for creating characters with real personalities, especially considering how short the ad is, and the fact that they have no lines. It's good to see that Jay Taylor made Aiden such a likable and sympathetic character, since he so often is cast in really nasty roles. For instance, in The Fixer [Clip here].

Currently, Jay can be seen in the movie Red Tails (Just don't blink!).

JAY TAYLOR RETURNS

Jay Taylor has returned home after a lengthy visit to my backward nation. These photos of the trip are from his twitter (The one on the beach in LA is really well done).

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize, on behalf of my country, for that revolution nonsense. 'Twas a bloody awful mistake in my view.

JAY TAYLOR (AIDEN)

Jay Taylor is an actor with experience in theater, movies (Donkey Punch), and TV (recently in Misfits and Sirens). He is also an interesting tweeter. His Twitter is like a sit-com about an actor, but with better dialogue.
