Calling Jamie an old-timer of the Hollywood doesn't do his career justice. To put things into perspective, Jamie won a whopping two dollars in a local acting contest at age 11.

After he completed his high school in Woodward as an outstanding student, he caught the eye of a scout from MGM. The scout landed him the role of a mentally challenged student on Blackboard Jungle (1955) starting his professional career in the showbiz.

His acting career was held at a break when he had to join the United States Army. He served tours in Korea and Japan during his two-years-tenure at the army.

After his service, Jamie continued his passion and eventually struck gold with his role as Lieutenant Gardelli in the Warner Brothers' military comedy, No Time for Sergeants. Since then, he played in numerous other projects. Most notable ones being The Cannonball Run, Cannonball Run II, and Scrooged.
