Jay Pickett, our leading man, writer, producer, and creator of this movie passed away suddenly while we were on location preparing to film a scene,” he wrote.
“Jay died sitting on a horse ready to rope a steer in the movie Treasure Valley in Idaho.
He was one of the best actors I ever worked with and it was an honor to collaborate with him,” he continued.
His most prolific work was playing Frank Scanlon on the ABC soap Port Charles for over 700 episodes.
He received his bachelor’s degree in acting from Boise State University and his MFA in acting from UCLA, with a focus in theater at both schools.
