[2] At the age of 3, he was visiting his older half-brother Scott Jacoby on the set of That Certain Summer , for which Scott won an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor. [3] The director needed someone to play Jacoby in flashbacks, and Jayne was selected and began his career.
Although Jayne's birth name was not Jacoby, when he started his career his mother thought it would be best if he used Jacoby, the last name of his already established half-brother. At the age of 17, however, Billy Jacoby changed his professional name to Billy Jayne to coincide with his birth name.

He is also known for the role of Buddy, the brother of Terri, in Just One of the Guys from 1985.

After the show ended, he had smaller roles in shows such as Renegade , Murder One (1995), Walker, Texas Ranger (1996), Charmed (1999) and Cold Case (2009).
