He starred in the 1986 Weird Western science fiction film The Aurora Encounter, where he portrayed an alien who visits Earth.[2] After the filming, Hays remained close friends with fellow cast member Jack Elam[2] and appeared in the 1987 documentary about congenital conditions I Am Not a Freak.[3] He died on his 20th birthday.[2]
