ActingAbout Jake Teague
Jake Teague was born near New York in 1927, the youngest son of four children. He was the child of an Irishwoman and an Austrian and was raised as a Catholic, resulting in his strong belief in God. Similar to his father, he ran a successful company in New York, which unfortunately went bankrupt at the end of the 60s - his wife also left him around this time, along with his children. When Jake reached the lowest point of his life, he was constantly looking for new jobs, including small roles in movies. According to his own statements made in an interview with Ashley West of "The Rialto Report", he got a role in a porn movie without knowing or wanting it, which he then had to play because of pressure by the mafia. Subsequently, he found himself in a vicious circle and starred in numerous porn classics, since he still had no financial means. Typically, he took on the role of the sleazy old man. Since this profession was not at all compatible with his faith, he left the business in the 80s and from then on worked as a motivational speaker and sculptor. To hide his pornographic acting roles, he spread the name Arnold Jay Zink on the Internet as the birth name of that Jake Teague. He died in July of 2023.
