No problem IndigoCloud, I knew as I was typing my answer that Judgemenot was not going to be impressed but ultimately I can only tell it as I see it. And if Sofia no longer wishes to talk to me then that is a shame but so be it. Of course that doesn't mean to say that I won't be replying to her post at some point!
Thank you for the further information regarding Jay Tavare's other charitable activities. -

You're welcome Athelflaed. You might also be interested to know that (though you may have read it somewhere already) Jay has been credited both on his website and in interviews as being a screenwriter, as well as writing non-fiction articles for magazines. Exactly what he's written, sold and/or published and by whom are complete mysteries. I've asked these questions before and no one seems to have any knowledge on the subject, not even an inkling. Something else to ponder over.

Only on this forum. I've never posted anything on Jay's site, though I remember reading a post on there from someone asking the same question and it wasn't answered directly. I can understand not wanting to give out details about something that's in the works and waiting to be accepted by a company, but to my knowledge there hasn't been any mention of any writings past or present, nor plans for any future projects.

I have read an article written by Jay Tavare a few years ago where he had interviewed Jackie Chan in Venice magazine for one of his up coming films and it was well written and very interesting.
I will ask RRF if she can get that interview and post it.
I had also read in Cowboys and Indians last year, where Marcus Nispel the director of PATHFINDER says, Jay re wrote his part of Black Wing and I quote : Jay did a great service to the film.
He goes on to say how Jay changed the part for the better and how he would not play the stereo type angry red man.
The article can be found on the JayTavare.com under the Magz section. -

If I'm not mistaken, Jay said that he was a part of re-writing parts it in the interview with NAICA.
That what you saw in the movie is not the whole thing.
Jay had a lot more scene's before they cut in it.
From what I've heard in the interview, the whole character has been changed by Jay. -

Honey bun I am in the know biz. I know because I spend the time learning the facts, something your mob is lacking. I speak to folks who know Jay and have met him for real. I also don't use my own name on the fan site as most Jaybirds.
If you would make friends instead of enemies you could have known all that I do too, which by the way has been posted or talked about on the Tavern at one point or other. I have also had a chat with his manager Mr. Greenstone, to make sure I had my facts right. So you can say I've done my home work.
That is why you lot are no match for me. lol
Also what I know it's not personal, it's his life as an actor and writer. I do not intrude in other peoples private life, something you lot should practice more often.
Finally I don't really like cowards like you who hide behind fake names and try to spread lies and who speculate on other folks lives. So don't bother asking me to answer anything that I have not shared. You clear on that loser!
They can't beat you on that one, can they, LOL. -

According to his Manager he has written several screen plays that he has optioned over the years and he has made a living from it beside his acting.
Mr. Tavare has also written for several magazines and is in fact is a published writer. I have the copy of Venice Magazine and the interview with Jackie Chan and his manager confirmed that in fact Mr. Tavare did both the interview and the writing.
Now there are many reasons why a screen play may be optioned or bought by a production company and not be made into a film. I have even read that some studios or production houses may buy a screen play so it may not clash with the one they are doing or it may be shelved because of the current affairs and the story's sensitivity towards it.
Who knows exactly but there are so may reasons a screen play may or may not make it to the screen.
That does not make the writer none existent. it only means you once again don't have your story right or all the data to completely understand Hollywood and the way things work.
Then again looking at all your assumptions, WHAT'S NEW! lol -

As for the screenplay excuse.. what a way to make a living, eh? "I just wrote and sold another screenplay that's just like something else they're making so it will never get filmed!!! YES!!" .. uh.. sure. Sounds like yet another excuse among a litany of falsehoods.
Can you prove that?? -

I was told he is a little dyslexic as many great actors are, hence some of the spelling mistakes. So what?
Oh really? Well, that would explain a lot. But we've been criticizing Jay's writing ability for a long time, so why offer up this explanation now? If he is dyslexic then it would be in his best interest to hire a proofreader, so that he doesn't simply come off as someone who is lazy and a poor writer. Though, I suppose it just sounds better to claim he's "a little dyslexic" than "a little bit stupid". Yes, there are some very talented actors who are also dyslexic (I found several lists of them on the internet and sorry, Jay Tavare is not mentioned among them), but I have never thought Jay was a great actor to begin with so I don't see how that could be used as a crutch to validate him.
I already sent the interview to the site lets see when they put it up.
Just for the sake of getting the facts straight on that. I also emailed Venice Magazine and asked them about the interview. I'm awaiting their reply. -

Great, good for you, now you are doing it the right way. Find the real facts, it is so much better than speculating, that is how I know all that I know.
Ask for the interview by Jay Tavare, photography by peter geuther and it was published by Venice Magazine jan/feb issue on page 22-24 and James earl jones is on the cover.
Like I said he is a published writer. Are you Amy? Are you Indgo Clown or Chriss.
I think there is a color shot of Jay and Jackie on the off the set section of the fan site. I believe it is from the same interview together.
Indigo Clown you are a racist and a bigot so I don't think your views on anyone, yet alone Mr. Tavare whom you don't really know anything about really matters. You get the picture. lol
