Jamie Mayers: Absurdly hot Short Guy, LARPer, ghost, with a trans mom, a gay dad, a BFA, and a boyfriend. And maybe a d*ck

Link to the n*de photos

We've been watching the American version of Ghosts (2021-26), about a disparate group of ghosts who are trapped between worlds in a bed-and-breakfast in upstate New York.  I'm not happy with the way they approach the Revolutionary War soldier Isaac being gay.  At least in Season 1, he'll say that a man is attractive, and the other ghosts will stare, mystified, as if same-sex desire cannot possibly exist.

But I like the buddy-bonding and the beefcake. 

In Episode 1.7 (2021),  Samantha, who can see ghosts because she was dead for a few minutes, encounters early 20th century newsboy Winky.  He was only 12 years old when he died, but the actor is obviously an adult --- 21 year old Jamie Mayers, now 25, and at 5'3", an outstanding member of the Short Guy Brigade who deserves a profile.

Well, he's also absurdly hot,  and gay in real life.  But mostly because he's 5'3". 

Jamie has several well-stocked social media pages, plus Linkedin and a professional website, so we can piece together a biography:

He was born in Montreal in 1999, and began acting in 2010, with some shorts, commercials, and Lies My Father Taught Me at Theatre Calgary: a Jewish boy's bittersweet memories of 1920s Montreal.

In 2012, Jamie played the son of gay-vague werewolf Ray (Andreas Apergis, left) in an episode of Being Human, about ghost, vampire, and werewolf roommates.

And he voiced the young Connor in the Assassin's Creed III video game.  He returned in 2017 to voice Pharaoh Ptolemey in Assassin's Creed: Origins.

Teencoms followed: the bratty little brother of Live Action Role Playing Gamer Brittany in seven episodes of LARPERS (2014-15)

The gay-vague best friend of a teenage boy whose life is narrated by sportscaster-like beings in Game On (2016-17).

And a drama: Four episodes of This Life (2015-16), about a woman dying of cancer while her teenage sons have soap opera problems.

But his most famous role is in Venus (2017):  Indo-Canadian trans woman Sid (Debargo Sanyal) is just starting to transition, when a teenage boy shows up on her doorstep, a son from a high school girlfriend.  He's fine with having a trans mom, but what about her conservative Indian parents?   She also finds the time to fall in love with Pierre-Yves Cardinal (n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).

In high school Jamie spent several summers at Stagedoor Manor, a performance camp for youth in Loch Sheldrake, New York, playing:

Otto in Grand Hotel: a dying bookkeeper who wants to spend his last moments in luxury.  He gets a girlfriend. (Played by Daniel Evans, n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).

Tobias in Sweeney Todd: the mentally challenged assistant to the murderous barber.  Played by Neil Patrick Harris on Broadway.

Jamie graduated from high school in 2017, and spent his gap year in London, where he performed in two plays with the St. George's Players, Avenue Q and Into the Woods.

Life after high school after the break

In 2018, Jamie moved to Brooklyn, New York and enrolled at Pace University. 

While an undergraduate,  he starred in the stage play The Louder We Get: While Marc fights for the right to take his boyfriend to the school prom, the tech nerd Napoleon (Jamie) is coached by jock Boomer (Kolton Stewart) on how to get a hot girl as a prom date.

He played Winky the Newsboy in an episode of Ghosts.

And he got a boyfriend.  Instagram comment: "I want someone who looks at me the way you look at Ben."  

Jamie graduated in 2022 with a BFA in Acting. 

His last acting role listed on the IMDB is a 2023 episode of the medical drama Transplant. A fungal infection from his science project threatens Eli (Jamie) and Craig (Dmitri Chepovetsky), his biological father.  Craig's boyfriend is unaffected.

But Jamie has been busy in the entertainment industry:

A fundraiser for the Manhattan Theater Club

An executive asistant for N7 films

Judge at the No Limits Film Festival

And since 2024, a talent agent for Atrium, "a leading woman-owned comprehensive management firm."  

5'3", gay in real life, and wearing a business suit.  Sigh.

 

Question #1: Any gay roles?

Looks like mostly gay-adjacent

Question #2: Gay in real life? 

 Of course.

Question #3: Any n*de photos?

A potential selfie and an action shot on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.  But who needs n*de photos with someone who is absurdly cute, 5'3", and wearing a business suit?  You're fantasizing about making out, not about going downtown, right?.
