Biography
Jaycie is an American-born actress now residing in Vancouver, British Columbia. She began her "one-woman show" at the tender age of 3, performing atop the coffee table in her living room, and has been unstoppable ever since. Originally from Akron, Ohio (no, she doesn’t know [link-nm1429908]), she was inspired to pursue the arts by her father, Richard Dotin, former lead vocalist and keyboardist of the Billboard Award-nominated disco band LaFlavour.
After years of early training in small theaters, performing arts programs, and dance studios (shout out to Theatre 8:15), Jaycie enrolled in Wright State University's BFA program, majoring in Musical Theatre. After two years, she was hired as a lead vocalist on Holland America Cruise Lines and later worked for Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruises as a backup vocalist for Adrian Zmed.
She went on to become a lead vocalist in "Donn Arden's: Jubilee" at Bally's hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. Following her time in Vegas, Jaycie relocated to Los Angeles, launching her commercial career with international brands such as Clorox, Crayola, and Dr. Scholls. Shortly after, she earned a Los Angeles Ovation Award nomination for her role as Brooke Wyndham in Legally Blonde the Musical. After this well-deserved recognition, Jaycie joined the Broadway National Tour of Jersey Boys the Musical, playing "Loraine." Upon completing the tour, she moved to Canada and became a permanent resident, now living in Vancouver.
Settled in Vancouver, also known as Hollywood North, Jaycie shifted her focus to film and television, quickly earning opportunities to work with prominent figures like Marc Webb on the CBS pilot Republic of Sarah (2019), J.D. Dillard on CBS's The Twilight Zone (2019), and Christina Voros on a recurring role in ABC’s hit show Big Sky (2020).
Jaycie has amassed over 28 film and TV credits, appeared in numerous print and commercial campaigns, and is currently co-writing her first feature screenplay (2021). She credits her achievements to the unwavering support of her family, her dog, and a constant supply of snacks.
