Jaycie is an American-born actor who has made Vancouver, British Columbia her home. Her journey in the entertainment industry began at the tender age of three, when she started performing on the coffee table in her living room, and she has been unstoppable ever since.
Growing up in Akron, Ohio, Jaycie was inspired to pursue a career in the arts by her father, Richard Dotin, the former lead vocalist and keyboard player of the Billboard Award-nominated disco band LaFlavour. She received early childhood training in small theatres, performing arts programs, and dance studios, including Theatre 8:15.
Jaycie attended Wright State University's BFA program, where she declared Musical Theatre as her major. However, she did not complete the program, as she was hired as a lead vocalist on Holland America Cruise Lines and later worked for Royal Caribbean and Princess, serving as a backup vocalist for Adrian Zmed.
After her stint in the cruise industry, Jaycie became a lead vocalist in "Donn Arden's: Jubilee" at Bally's hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. Following her time in Vegas, she moved to Los Angeles, where she started her commercial career, representing international brands such as Clorox, Crayola, and Dr. Scholls.
Jaycie's performance in Legally Blonde the Musical earned her a nomination for a Los Angeles Ovation Award, and she went on to join the Broadway National Tour of Jersey Boys the Musical as "Loraine". After her time on tour, Jaycie became a permanent resident of Canada and currently resides in Vancouver, also known as "Hollywood North".
Settling in Vancouver, Jaycie focused on her film and television career, and the industry welcomed her with open arms. She has since worked with acclaimed directors such as Marc Webb on the CBS pilot Republic of Sarah, J.D. Dillard on CBS's The Twilight Zone, and Christina Alexandra Voros for a recurring role on ABC's hit show Big Sky.
Throughout her career, Jaycie has accumulated over 28 film and television credits, appeared in a dozen print and commercial campaigns, and is currently co-writing her first feature screenplay. She attributes her success to the unwavering support of her family, her dog, and a steady supply of snacks.
