Oneida Rollins

Oneida, or "Jay Rollins" as he is known today, was born and reared in Chicago, IL, completed high school in Houston, TX, and later graduated The University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Aerospace Engineering. Though he turned his primary attention to becoming a Naval Aviator, Rollins had developed a love for acting from an early age. While flight instructing in Pensacola, FL, he learned "Jaws 2" was filming nearby in Destin, FL. So on a lark, he decided to audition and landed the speaking role of the ambulance driver. Following his time in the US Navy, Rollins flew many years as a captain for American Airlines until he chose an early retirement. However, throughout his time in aviation, Rollins never gave up on acting and the media. He earned an MA in TV Broadcast Journalism from the University of Miami in 2007 and is often interviewed as an aviation expert. His ongoing acting credits include multiple theater and commercial appearances. Today, Rollins appears as "Agent X" opposite Bishop TD Jakes in a dramatic promotional series entitled, "The Mission is NOT Impossible." You can catch installments on TD Jakes Ministries programs aired on Daystar Cable. Rollins lives near Miami / Ft. Lauderdale in Florida, and his adult son attends the US Naval Academy beginning July, 2012. Show less «
