Jayce Bartok is an American actor, born in 1974, and originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He wrote, directed and produced the short film Stricken in 2005.

A young leading man with TV and film experience, Jayce Bartok had his best chance to date as Pony, the rock star who returns to his home town where his pals are waiting in Richard Linklater's "subUrbia" (1997).

Early career

Born in Pittsburgh, the light-haired Bartok moved with his family to Manhattan when he was nine and by age 12 was taking acting lessons at the HB Studio. He was 13 when he made his professional acting debut, appearing in a WonderWorks episode entitled Almost Partners (PBS, 1987).

In the 90s, his TV appearances included an ABC unsold pilot entitled Coconut Downs, a recurring role on the Judith Ivey sitcom Down Home (NBC, 1991) and an episode of NBC's Law & Order. More recently, Bartok played a naive prisoner in the 1996 TNT miniseries Andersonville.

Bartok has also appeared on stage playing a victim of abuse in Dalton's Back off-Broadway at Circle Repertory Company when he was 16 years old.

Feature film work

His feature film work began in 1991 when he played a street punk harassing Robin Williams in "The Fisher King". He went on to play Bob Hoskins' nephew in "Passed Away" (1992) and had small roles in both "School Ties" (1992) and "Swing Kids" (1993). Notable recent roles include a cameo in "Spiderman", and leading roles in the soon-to-be released features "The Tollbooth", "Red Doors", and "Tempting Adam" for the Oxygen Network.

"Red Doors" won the NY, NY Best Narrative Feature Award at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival, a special grand jury prize for ensemble at Cinevegas in Las Vegas 2005, and the audience award at 2005's Outfest in LA. He is the voice of Robert Redford's "The Sundance Channel".

"The Cake Eaters" marks Jayce's screenwriting debut, and he has just written and directed his first short film called "Stricken]]", starring Hayley Mills.
