Career Kay's family moved to the Czech Republic where he saw a note on a school noticeboard for English-speaking children to be extras in a film.

After small roles in Hannibal Rising and My Boy Jack, the Canada production company making Fugitive Pieces asked him to play the part of young Jakob, which involved a 9-week shooting schedule, three of which were on Greece islands.
