Netflix’s Space Force is more than just a slapstick comedy now. New storylines, new characters, the show’s sequel has even been labeled as a “space-themed version of The Office.” Our star JayR Tinaco is one of the actors joining Season 2 to make this happen!

JayR Tinaco on the Space Force
In the first season of Space Force, Dr. Chan (Jimmy O. Yang) was introduced as the partner of head scientist Dr. Mallory (John Malkovich). But as his status in the science department grew—all thanks to his relationship with Angela (Tawny Newsome)—Dr. Chan got his own partner in season 2, and that was Dr. Xyler, played by JayR Tinaco.
JayR first appears helping Dr. Chan figure out why Angela is ignoring him. “I don’t like that ratio,” Dr. Xyler says as they discuss the texting ratio between Chan and Angela. Dr. Chan later joins in a battle between all the scientists, only to be defeated by Dr. Chan.
JayR reportedly appeared in at least four episodes of Space Force season 2.
While JayR may have been in more than 2 sci-fi series, they admit that they’re not big fans of the genre. Even when they auditioned for Netflix’s Another Life as “Zayn Peterson,” it was because they were “intimidated by it being sci-fi and then playing a doctor.”
Additionally, JayR shared that since “they wanted someone nonbinary,” they saw this as an opportunity to represent the community.
“I think labels scare people, but they’re not everything — you can be whoever you want to be… There was no narrative around Zayn coming out or talking about how they came out. I can’t wait for that day when that happens: when we don’t have to talk about it anymore and have to educate people,” they explained.
Does JayR Tinaco have a partner?
As of 2022, JayR Tinaco has not revealed his sexual preferences. So it is unclear whether their partner is a boyfriend or girlfriend.
However, around 2016, the actor was spotted getting cozy with Victoria Morgan (Alexandra in Surface). The two appeared (quite a few times) on each other’s IGs with sweet captions afterward.
“Can’t help but smile when I’m with you!” Victoria captioned a November 20, 2015 post of JayR kissing her.
But with that said, the couple never revealed their relationship. As far as we know, they could just be good friends.
JayR Tinaco Gender
JayR Tinaco defines their gender as “non-binary.”
“I like to express myself through cross-dressing, and that’s how I’ve always done it,” they explained. According to the actor, they never knew they were different until someone else (outside of their family) told them.
Coming from a small town in Australia, JayR was bullied quite a bit by the boys they went to school with. They even received some death threats from people who wanted to kill them. Luckily, JayR had “really, really good girlfriends” around them and a really strong mother who stood up for them.
JayR Tinaco Before Surgery
JayR Tinaco may be “non-binary,” but rumors of him having surgery have yet to be confirmed.
If they ever had a child, JayR would look exactly the same as he does now (only younger) before the surgery. Always full of energy and looking beautiful all the time.
What is JayR Tinaco’s net worth?
JayR Tinaco has achieved a net worth of over $500 thousand in 2022.
Born in the Philippines and raised in Australia, JayR has always been full of energy. And to tap into that energy, their mother sent them to acting classes when they were young. Since then, the actor has never looked back.
But it wasn’t until they moved to Canada around 2017 that JayR pursued a professional acting career.
Previously, they felt a lot of pressure to play “straight” roles. It’s no surprise that JayR now only auditions for LGBTQ+ roles because they are relevant and fit their lifestyle. Actors want to show all of themselves on screen. They want to inspire people and want others to “see themselves.”
As of 2022, JayR has appeared in over 14 films and television shows including The Fall of the House of Usher, The Power, Another Life, One Of Us Is Lying, A Million Little Things, Rake and Home and Away.
Besides acting, JayR also ventures into the world of fashion and beauty. Their fashion sense is also one of the reasons why the actor is loved on screen.
JayR Tinaco Family
JayR Tinaco comes from a Filipino family. However, they were raised by their mother in rural North Queensland, Australia.
“When I was little, my mom sent me to acting classes because I had so much energy that she didn’t know what to do with it, but her plan didn’t work out the way she expected!” the actor recalls.
It seemed like their father was no longer there.
