Jay Hernandez, who plays Dalton in Warner Bros. Picturs' Torque, burst onto the scene as the romantic lead starring opposite Kirsten Dunst in Crazy/Beautiful. This was quickly followed by a starring role in Disney's hit film, The Rookie, opposite Dennis Quaid and Joy Ride with Steve Zahn and Paul Walker.

Born and raised in Montebello, California, Jay was in Hollywood with his parents when he was "discovered" in the classic movie fashion. The Hernandez family shared an elevator with talent manager Howard Tyner, and by the time they reached the lobby, a career had begun. His first acting job was in the independent feature Living the Life and was then cast as a series regular on NBC's Saturday morning comedy, Hang Time.

Early in 2004, Jay can be seen in the Disney feature, Ladder 49, alongside Joaquin Phoenix and John Travolta. Hernandez is currently in production on The Nomad, to be released in 2004.
