In a business that burns through people quickly, Jay Thomas is a long-distance runner with a career measured in decades rather than seasons. Television and film have both stayed in regular use across the career. Playing Easter Bunny in 'The Santa Clause 2' put him in front of the widest audience of the career. 'The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause' is the other credit that tends to come up. He won the Emmy for 'Murphy Brown'.
