Latin Times: What inspired you to become a
Stuntman/Actor?
Jay Amor: When I was a kid we lived in
New York I use to do really stupid things like
climbing fire escapes, jumping from building to
building, climbing to the tops of trees. Jumping
off the trees, jumping my bicycle over garbage
cans.
But what really inspired me was Superman,
and Batman they were always doing stunts.
I either wanted to be a Policeman, Fireman
or Stuntman. My first movie I worked on was
BLACK SUNDAY in 1977 where I met the first
Stunt Person the Awesome Jeannie Epper.
She is an Icon in the Stunt Business. What a
Blessing it was to get to meet her and work with
her. I have been a member in good standing
with SAG Screen Actors Guild since 1979 to
present.

you’re working on?
Jay Amor: The Movie, I just got back from
Santo Domingo working on a show with “True
Memoirs of an International Assassin” with
Andy Garcia and Kevin James its gonna be a
funny Movie. 11-22-63 the assassination of JFK
re-enactment. Then I just did a Bucket list Driving a Nascar for a show called “CHECKERED
FLAG CHALLENGE”. I was the Stunt coordinator so I hired myself to be one of the Drivers.
There is several projects in the works so soon
we will be on set.
Latin Times: What advice do you have for
young Latinos wanting to be Stunt Actors?
Jay Amor: Don’t ever give up, don't ever listen
to anyone that tells you, you can’t do it. Be
positive, Train and prepare yourself,
