Jay Penrake is known for Action UK! directed by Abner Pastoll, Catherine Holden stars as Laura and Jared Richard as Marley. The upcoming new movie Jay Penrake plays is The Stray which will be released on May 29, 2015.

Jay's first acting role, age 6, was as Jamie in the moving and eerie short film Mud Boy - which involved hour upon hour of being covered in mud, buried in mud and on the final day climbing on top of a shed. In the last couple of years, he has consistently shown that he is a very natural film actor with a mature sense of timing that makes life very easy for the directors he works with.Eric J Adams, writer/producer of 'Supremacy' with Danny Glover had this to say about The Stray and Jay's latest short film: "Intimate, penetrating and moving, The Stray features standout performances and direction that takes you inside the hearts of two characters bound to each other by their flaws and human goodness."Feedback on his performance as the lead - a boy missing his absent dad - in The Paintbrush, his last short film, has elicited very warm comments from many UK casting directors. Here are just three quotes of note:'Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to see this short - such a moving and heart-warming story, so beautifully made. I shall certainly keep Jay in mind for future projects - I think he gives an excellent performance in this.'Stephanie Dawes, CDG'Thanks for sending me this & you were right - an elegiac short played with real heart by Jay. I'm not casting any kids' parts at the moment but he will stick fast in my memory if something suitable pops up.'Alison Chard, CDG'A really beautiful short and wonderful central performance from Jay. I will certainly keep him in mind for future work.'Kate Plantin CDGLike any promising young lead, Jay has a dynamic range. He has a big passion for action movies and fantasy - and doesn't mind a few bumps and scrapes along the way!
