Acting Roles

On 10/16/2014, former St. George, Utah mayor Dan McArthur told a man that I was the star of the Water Conservancy film “Liquid Desert” part 1. Where I portrayed Jacob Hamblin.
I guess I was one of them. Got me to thinking maybe I should list all the roles in one place, so here goes. The American Messiah 1987 as the Apostle John, a non-speaking role.
Then a rash of independent films by my son James: “Crumple” the lead “You’ve Been Warned“ co-star as the mad scientist
“It’s A Terrible Life” a non-speaking role as an angel
Plus several one man shows as Abraham Lincoln’s Ghost.
Starting in 2009 for the 200th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth and continuing on in 2010 with the political speeches of President Lincoln, in 2011 the ancestry and poetry of Lincoln, what he wrote and what he liked. These are on video. 2009 is on YouTube at Cell23 Studios. 2010 and 2011 have promo trailers at Cell23 Studios 2012 photos with Lincoln’s Ghost at the Washington County Fair (Utah) (Seen here with Camry Hafen Miss Ivins) July 4, 2013 Worthen park St. George, Utah at 42 to 48 sec. into the video news clip: stgnewsVideos October 2013 Santa Clara, Utah Ghost tours with ghost story actors
2014 is “Lincoln’s Ghost Tells Stories” on audio cd and dvd. You can also obtain copies of all of the Lincoln shows at Abraham Lincoln, love him or hate him In “The US Immigration and Naturalization Project” I play a stevedore, a non speaking role. Then I was an elder Priest in a fantasy film, a speaking role. I appear in opening scene of “Mythica: a Quest for Heros” official trailer 2014.
Also see this post: http://jaybeacham.com/2015/05/18/which-movies-were-you-in/ Then twice I’ve done back ground extra non-speaking roles in the New Testament film project, on You Tube: Ye Are the Temple of God and Doers Of The
Word where I portray a street merchant. But being an extra doesn’t mean an appearance in the published film. Also I was an extra in a tourist commercial but didn’t appear in the final product. But that is the life of an extra. I also hosted a series titled “How Not To Build A House”. A promo can be seen at Cell23 Studio. See Episodes 1 and 2 @ Jay Beacham on You Tube Voice work June 2015 for Dixie Business Alliance Make it Easy Toothpaste Dispenser Caddy and Gozunder Toilet Seat Riser February 2016 Lincoln’s Ghost at the VA home in Ivins, Utah.

Jay, you are such a valuable asset to St. George.
I have enjoyed all your videos, and especially your CDs. You have such an interesting voice and I love the way you sing.
I was fortunate to buy videos and CDs for my friends.
You have a God-given talent- one to be proud of.
I have noticed you recording in the early hours of the morning.
I suppose having to work takes up your daytime hours.
Keep acting.
Keep singing.
Your fans love what you do.
Sincerely,
Barbara Hunt

Hi Jay, Awesome stuff! But where is a picture of you as Brigham Young for Historic St. George Live!? Did I miss it?
Quite the lineup of jobs. You make a great elder priest. I like your Lincoln and There are many more that you could do, especially with that beard. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

What I like about your life, hobbies, and career is that things keep getting bigger and better! 😀
You are so talented my friend!!!!! Keep up the wonderful work you do!!!!!!
Such a great list of roles. Looks like you have enjoyed yourself.
Not surprisingly, you have nailed ‘the look’ in all your acting roles. It’s impressive and very well done. You have a rich voice and it is a pleasure to see your work!
It’s so true, not any voice will do, thank God it had to be you! Great voice and a great face, you really belong in movies. Thanks for everything Jay! :D-Ben Arnold
“I loved the movie Mythica and so I was so shocked when I found out that you were the White Priest in that movie. Hahaha! That first part really horrified me the first time I watched it, because immediately I was thinking you were the epitome of a prophet. You looked real awesome in that movie. I certainly hope we can make you a star of your own movie soon.”
