He was an amazing dude, I watched Deadwood the tv show recently and there was a guy in the show who I thought “i don’t know who that is but I think he is a big deal”. sure enough it was ricky jay!
not a master of acting like he is with sleight of hand but he does pretty well!
- tptacek 5y agoHe's a solid actor! His best role was probably in Mamet's Spanish Prisoner.
- evgen 5y agoHe was also great in a small bit in Heist. My awareness of Ricky Jay started as Ricky as character actor and it wasn't until a few years later that I came to realize just how much of a magic and sleight of hand wizard he was. If you get a chance I recommend 'Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay' in addition to the Ricky Jay and his 52 Assistants mentioned elsewhere.
- tptacek 5y agoI saw him live in his Rogue's Gallery show in Chicago; he's as good on stage as he is in anything else. A consummate storyteller.
