Oneida Rollins

Oneida, or "Jay Rollins" as he is known today, was born and reared in Chicago, IL, completed high school in Houston, TX, and graduated the University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Aerospace Engineering degree, and the University of Miami with an MA in TV Broadcast Journalism. Although he was primarily a naval aviator at the time of filming (and later a captain for American Airlines), Rollins moonlighted as an actor. When he learned "Jaws 2" was filming nearby in Destin, Florida, he decided to audition on a lark, and landed a speaking role as the ambulance driver. Rollins continued acting in multiple theater and commercial appearances, including one where he played a tongue-in-cheek "Agent X" character opposite TV Minister TD Jakes in a dramatic promotional series entitled, "The Mission is NOT Impossible" which aired on Daystar Cable, and he was also featured in a Blue-Emu commercial featuring Johnnie Bench, now archived on the iSpot.tv website. Rollins resides in Hollywood, Florida between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale.
