Jay Anthony Franke was one of the Stars on the hit TNBC Show "California Dreams". He played "Jake Summers", the tough, leather wearing, guitar playing cool dude. In real life, Jay is a very down to earth guy. Read his Bio for more information. I am a friend of Jay's named Keith and will be keeping you updated on his life and acting career through this web site.
 A Note from Jay:
"Hello, everyone. Welcome to Keith's page. I'd like to extend my thanks to Keith for his friendship and support in putting this web site together. I also wish to thank all of you, for your incredible response and questions, which I shall do my best to answer, so please, keep them coming!

Jay has left the hot desert sun of Las Vegas for the kinder weather of California again.  The movie he did is finished and the details can be found here. http://www.robinhoodfilms.com/casting.htm 

Also, I was clearing out some old files and came across a doc that I had started a few years ago.  It was about a friend of our CD group that met with an accident and lost her life.  I have put together a page in memory of her and you can see if here. MAGGIE O'ROURKE You can leave a message in the Guestbook if you like.

Jay finally finished filming "The Casino Job" and it is in post-production.  Hopefully it will be out this spring.  Jay is living in Las Vegas now and has been reviewing more acting options.

Also, quite a few years ago, a group of fans put together what was called "California Dreams - Season Six, The College Years".  It was a Fan-Fic created by that group and it was really good.  It took all of the characters from all seasons and put them into college together.  I loved reading it but it was only available to read online.  I took the original stories, cleaned them up and formatted them for book production and then created a book for my own enjoyment.  I also had a few friends that wanted a copy so I made it available for order.  It is now available to everyone at http://www.lulu.com/content/126045 and if the original writers can get in contact with me, I have a free copy to send to you.

Wow, has it been that long?  Well looks like the acting bug has finally bitten Jay again.  He is now living in Las Vegas and filming "The Casino Job" produced by Robin Hood Films www.robinhoodfilms.com .  He will be playing the part of "Scribe", 25-35, attractive and intellectual dealer at the targeted casino, aspiring screenwriter and ex-boyfriend of Amber.
He is very excited about the film and his new girlfriend (that's right he is off the market again) is trilled for him too.  Go to the Guest book and leave him a message, he checks them regularly.

p.s. as soon as he gets me some new headshots, I will be creating a new website for him.
