Raymond St. Jacques

Tall (6'3"), imposing actor Raymond St. Jacques, who appeared as both hero and villain in hundreds of roles, was born James Arthur Johnson in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1930, but he and younger sister Barbara were raised in Depression-era New Haven after their parents' divorce. He started writing and performing in his own short plays in elementary school and developed a strong interest in acting after appearing in a production of "Othello". A stint with the Air Force in 1952 during the Korean War temporarily interrupted his professional momentum, but he managed to arrange plays and entertain servicemen during his stay of duty. Upon his discharge, he refocused, auditioned and was accepted into both the Actor's Studio and Herbert Berghof's Institute while modeling, dish washing and working as a sales clerk at Bloomingdale's to make ends meet. At around this time, he changed his stage moniker from the very common name of Raymond Johnson to Ray Saint Jacques (later Raymond St. Jacques) to avoid confusion with other actors. St. Jacques went on to perform for the American Shakespearean Festival, Stratford Connecticut, and, in addition to acting and assistant directing, was relied upon to train other actors in the art of swordplay as he had grown to become an accomplished fencing master. Raymond made his Broadway bow in the 1955 musical "Seventh Heaven" and appeared in various on- and off-Broadway productions including "The Blacks", "Night Life", "The Cool World" and "A Raisin in the Sun". He also continued to performed in the Bard's plays, including "Henry V", "Romeo and Juliet" and "Julius Caesar". The actor started gracing films in mid-career, making his debut with Black Like Me (1964). His breakthrough role came with the otherwise tepidly-received The Comedians (1967) where he stole the thunder from under husband and wife Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. This led to a series of black-oriented 'stud' roles in Uptight (1968), Change of Mind (1969), Cool Breeze (1972), and notably, If He Hollers, Let Him Go! (1968) (1968) in which he shared some torrid and controversial bed scenes with Barbara McNair that made the "Sex in the Cinema" pages of Playboy magazine. He also winningly played Coffin Ed Johnson alongside Godfrey Cambridge as Gravedigger Jones in the comedy action crimers Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970) and Come Back Charleston Blue (1972) and portrayed the part of Martin Luther King, Jr. in the biopic The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover (1977). St. Jacques made history as the first black actor to appear in a regular role on a western series, playing Simon Blake on Rawhide (1959). St. Jacques moved briefly into producing and directing with the film Book of Numbers (1973), which relayed the stories of various African-Americans during the late 1800s. Raymond went on to appear as a guest in a number of popular programs including "Dr. Kildare," "Daktari," "I Spy," "The Virginian," "Daniel Boone," "The Green Hornet," "The Name of the Game," "McCloud," "The Rookies," "Police Story," "Little House on the Prairie," "Police Woman," "Quincy," "Hart to Hart," "Fantasy Island," "Airwolf," "Murder, She Wrote," "A Different World" and "MacGyver." He also had recurring roles on the nighttime soaper Falcon Crest (1981) and as a judge on Superior Court (1986). His final films included featured roles in The Wild Pair (1987), Glory (1989) (as Frederick Douglass), Voodoo Dawn (1990) and Timebomb (1991), the last two released posthumously. A noted civil rights activist and lecturer both here and abroad on apartheid issues. St. Jacques died of lymphoma in 1990 at age 60.

Raymond Steers

Raymond Steers is a maverick who has always loved the movies. His early acting and directing experiences include a mildly traumatic turn as the Friar in a 5th-grade production of Romeo and Juliet, a super-8 film about fish reproduction that he made in the 8th grade, and playing the 'Skateboard Guy' in Mr. Holland's Opus. After graduating from high school two years early, he embarked on a string of adventures: from being the youngest student at a prestigious audio engineering school in Ohio; to working at the company that invented videotape recording; to renting videos to a barefoot Meg Ryan in LA; to getting kicked out of Los Altos Community College thanks to an overly-heated debate involving Carl Lewis and tachyon particles. He still maintains that if Carl Lewis' body were made entirely of tachyon particles, the runner might not be observed to start his race at the beginning and go straight through to the end. Loving the movies as he does, Ray eventually found himself thinking it would be great to star in a really cool film about science and conspiracy, but rather than try to convince someone else to make such a film and cast him in it, he decided to make it himself. Thus was Sum of the Parts born. Ray wrote most of the script on a laptop in the back of Mary's Club on Burnside and Broadway in downtown Portland, Oregon. "It's dark there and has great murals all around depicting weird sailors and chicks with fruit hats", is how he describes this ideal writer's venue. Ray approached the movie-making process with the same maverick spirit that drove him to write the script, and he gathered an intrepid band of actors and crew who shared his inventive drive. If no one made the equipment he needed, Ray built it. If there was a minor but completely unplanned car crash that happened to occur in the middle of shooting a scene, actors and crew rolled with it. It made for an exciting set. Once Ray started editing, he created new techniques to manipulate the film and images. Throughout, he has been driven to make something exciting, new, and excellent. He considers himself extremely lucky to have met the many amazing cast and crew-members who coalesced around this project, and is grateful for their talent and dedication. He looks forward to making more movies with them in the future. Sum of the Parts is Ray Steers' first film.
