JAY was the son of a Mohawk Chief. He excelled in sports such as lacrosse and amateur boxing. He then entered HOLLYWOOD in 1938 as a stunt man. He usually played "Indian" parts, but became famous when he co-starred with actor CLAYTON MOORE as TONTO, THE LONE RANGER'S faithful Indian companion in both Movies and TV. In the 70's he became a harness racing driver and bred horses. When asked if any of the horses he was breeding could have beat SCOUT (TONTO's horse) he replied, "Heck, I can beat Scout!"
