“Jayden is extremely mature and professional for his age. What he does so beautifully is have that ultimate professionalism but still knows how to be a kid and have fun. That shines through the screen so nicely!”

— Christine Luby

Film and TV Director

“Jayden blew us away with his talent and was mature way beyond his years. He performed in the very successful QPAC season with great aplomb – totally professional in his work practice, and demonstrating terrific acting, dancing and singing skills, but, more than that, he had a warmth and easy unspoilt charm that was very special. The very experienced cast (including David Hobson and Rachel Beck) loved working with him. I predicted then, and still believe, that if he chooses to continue in the business he will become a major talent. He is motivated, delightful to work with and has considerable talent.”

Theatre and TV Drama Director; Artistic Director Melbourne Theatre Company

“Jayden is a ‘star of the future’ who is fast on the path to a career of artistic excellence.”

Writer, Director

“McGinlay gave us a laconic and easy going Ralph, happy to lead and to defend his people on his terms. A solid and carefully constructed piece of acting showed the torture within as Ralph struggles against his own nature, the work of an actor far beyond his years.”
