CSI Miami... What a Ride !!!!

[Totems4jt]

Hi folks this is Jay Tavare reporting from the set of CSI Miami... I am having such a blast working with the cast and crew... these guys are amazing. The entire cast and crew are like a well oiled machine and they are so good at what they do...
Everyone made me feel at home even though I am one of the 3 guest stars for this cliff hanger final episode... I have been a fan of this show and this is a great way for me to be part of the most watched show in the world.
I want to thank Sam Hill our Director and Jim Vickers the Emmy winning Stunt coordinator and second unit director ( Who jumped out of the Window with a camera and shot me all the way down ) and his World class stunt team and flying riggers who are the best in the biz... I had the pleasure of working with the real Spider Man Chris Daniel who has done all of Spider man stunts for all 3 films... they all gave me the confidence to pull this insane stunt off... I have done many crazy things in my film career, and I like to be as close to my characters as possible, but this stunt from the 23rd floor... a backward free fall of 200 feet was the best ride of my life... I had to it at least a dozen times...!!! And I got paid for it! Ha ha...
I am still working for most part of next week and just like most of my fans I am looking forward to the airing of this dynamite episode myself... I promise it is going to one hell of a ride...!!!!
Signing off... Only the Brave... Where Eagles Dare !!!!!

My question is....how in the world do you manage to keep your lunch down? I definitely could not eat before doing something like that, that is, if I could get the courage to do it in the first place.....

Fly high, soar free, land safely.

Wow! I'm so happy for you! And I'm happy for all of us who get to see you on TV. CSI Miami has been a favorite show of mine for a long time. I'm sure we'd all hope that your character could be a regular, but with that tumble you took off the building, maybe not...? Good to hear that you made it through though. Will you tell us more about your adventures?

Glad Jay has a TV spot. Be sure moderators to remind us when Jay is on the tube so we can tune in. Busy people like me who don't even have a TV needs to be alerted so I can go over a friends house and Watch the episode...better yet I am always on the computer...if someone can tape it and put the entire episode on UTube...think about it !! A-ho Jay, you make us Proud !!

Re: CSI Miami... Up dates.

We wanted to up date all of you about what we have heard. According to Jim Vickers the 2nd Unit Director and Emmy winning Stunt Coordinator of CSI Miami and NY Show's. What Jay did in this final episode was the most intense and the highest free fall he has every staged!!!! He said Jay was just awesome to be able to perform his own stunts as well as giving an intense performance. Beside the 200 feet free fall, Jay had to run thru a glass window twice... once on the ground level as you see in the above shot and the other was going through a third story window and dropping 30 feet on to boxes and pads that was placed under him. We are happy to say Jay managed to get away with only a few nicks and bruises. For anyone who ever had any doubt about Mr. Tavare I think he just answered the question, has he still got it?
We are happy to say the man is still extraordinary in every-way and in no way's has he slowed down.
He is at the top of his game and this is a great way for Jay to return to work and to be seen on the most watched show in the World, in probably one of the most dramatic episodes ever shot!!!!
Mr. Tavare we salute you. You are one of kind.

May 6, 08 - 8:31 AM Jay is Unbelievable !!!!

Hi I am one of the many silent fans of Mr. Tavare, but after seeing his latest work on CSI Miami, I have to say this man is just UNBELIEVABLE! I have read so much about how old he maybe or not, and when you see him free falling 200 feet or going through a glass window and dropping three floors down, I can't help but think to myself who cares how old he is? I don't know too many 20 year olds who could have done that? In a business that is all make believe, and in an age where most actors don't do anything but say their lines, Mr. Tavare is the real deal who can act, rock and roll with the best of them. I don't know about the rest of you but I am blown away by this man and his level of dedication and skills! Keep it up Jay you are the man!

May 7th, 2008 - 10:57 AM Re: Jay is Unbelievable !!!!

Yes I was lucky enough to be on the set on the last day of the shoot and let me tell you, the entire crew and cast were in awe of Jay's skills! On the last shot of the day, he had to go through a real glass window, and fall correctly on a ten foot catch at the bottom of the 30 feet drop! Everyone was holding their breath, my heart was pounding so hard. The paramedics were on the set and waiting just in case, Jay was so cool and focused he did it in one take and nailed the landing without any problems. A loud cheer erupted around the set, followed by applause! I was told he was such a hit on the set they wanted to make him a regular villain, if they could. All I can say is, Jay was just amazing and his physical skills match his acting skills, and he really is in incredible shape to be able to perform all his own stunts. I had spoken to one of the producers on the set and he confirmed, they had looked at many stunt men to do this role but they could not act, and they had looked at many actors who could not do such demanding stunts, and they needed an actor who could do both and they were lucky to find all that in Jay Tavare. Like I said Jay is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

It would be totally awesome for Jay to become a regular, and better yet, that the word would spread around in the Hollywood community that Jay is the man for the roles.

Let's see...he could be a twin. Or it could have actually been a dummy that fell, an like any 'magician', his character is still alive. They just had to make it 'look' like it was real...for his protection....put him in a "protection witness" program...... hhhmmmmm....I'll see if i can't think of anything more....

Actually, this would probably be up ShoMo's ally if she were around...
