Life
Jayne had his first film role at the age of three. He played the younger Nick Salter in flashbacks in the television production Back then Summer , who was otherwise played by his older brother Scott Jacoby . Since his brother was already established as an actor (he received an Emmy Award for his role in this film ), Jayne was given the stage name Jacoby. This was due to the fact that the brothers had different fathers and consequently different family names. It wasn't until the age of 17 that Jayne used his maiden name again. Billy Jayne's younger brother is the actor Robert Jayne .
Jayne began his acting career in the late 1970s. In the 26-part television series of the same name, based on the film The Bears Are Going , he played one of the team members of the Bears' baseball team . This was followed by guest appearances in various series formats and feature films, including the Stephen King film adaptation Cujo . Between 1985 and 1987 he had a recurring role in the series Silver Spoons with Ricky Schroder in the lead role. In 1990 he got one of the leading roles in the series Parker Lewis - The Cool One from School , which he played in 73 episodes until 1993. Jayne has been nominated several times for the Young Artist Award and received the award three times, for the first time in 1985.
From the end of the 1990s he turned to working behind the camera and shot commercials for Dockers , Taco Bell and Jeep, among others .
