Description
Actor Arjay Smith-Going from a “child actor” to an “adult actor” can be a circus ride…but luckily things worked out for actor Arjay Smith. The Southern California native began his professional acting career some 28 years ago. In 1997, he garnered the lead role in Nickelodeon's "The Journey of Allen Strange", and in 2000 recurred as Cadet Finley on FOX's "Malcolm in the Middle". Directly following his high-school graduation, Arjay landed his first feature film co-star role alongside Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal and Emmy Rossum in the blockbuster hit "The Day After Tomorrow". In 2012, Smith began a three-season run as a series regular on TNT's "Perception" starring Eric McCormack, Rachel Leigh Cook, Kelly Rowan and LeVar Burton. After the series run, Arjay would go on to play recurring characters on TNT's "Major Crimes", FX's "Sons of Anarchy" and TBS’ “The Guest Book”. Currently, he recurs as James Murray on ABC’s “The Rookie”.
