Jim Bray (born February 23, 1961) is an actor from Ontario, California. Much of his youth was spent in competitive Artistic roller skating where he won several national titles in Singles and Pairs. At the age of 18 he gave up his amateur status to star in the roller disco movie Roller Boogie starring Linda Blair. This would be his only film appearance. Because of the film, he became a poster boy for teen magazines like 16 Magazine, Teen Beat, Teen Bag, Tiger Beat as well as more mainstream fare like People and Gossip. Later Bray made an appearance in the 1980 TV variety program The Big Show.[1][2][3][4]
