11/5/2023 0 Comments Jay did that so hopefully![]() (girls singing) H to the izz-O.V to the izz-A. on the DirecTV Audience Network.Lyrics Ladies and gentlemen, put our hands together for theastonishing. There’s only so much salve that Jay has to offer the wounds that he has been trying to heal. Addicts know addicts, and often times we know that the only angels in our lives are the ones who close the doors on us. Maybe I should pay a little closer attention to what’s happening in a situation that I thought I already had a good grip on. It’s a feeling that something is not quite right. It’s that feeling of a ligament being torn, a muscle being overstretched. How is Jay going to react to learning about Christina’s OD? And during our hiatus, I talked with Byron, and I was like, “I think I really liked that snort of heroin.” And he was like, “Oh yes, yes you did.” So your fear is well earned. It’s this small little scene, but as an actor, I was wondering, did I like that? Will that come back to haunt me? Will that show up in future episodes? It’s a little seed that makes you wonder if it will develop and grow later as the seasons go on. ![]() There’s a scene coming up where I’m throwing away her heroin and I put a little bit in my mouth and my gums and I snort a little bit. Were you ever nervous that Jay was going to get addicted to heroin like his mother?Īctually, I was. It was also, honestly, pretty shocking how well Jay bounced back from using, since he has such an addictive personality when it comes to other drugs and vices. Addiction is a relentless, persistent beast that is stalking so many of the people on Kingdom, and for Christina, it was heroin. But one of the most gratifying things about Jay is that he is oftentimes the mirror to so many other characters, and he oftentimes is the one holding the mirror in front of other characters. Were you surprised that she kept using after that? It seemed like he scared her enough to stop. It was heartbreaking to watch Christina use again after Jay did heroin in front of her. That’s what will allow the friendship to continue in spite of this fight. The only game you’re playing is against yourself and for yourself. But you’re never really fighting anyone else. ![]() I don’t think it can hurt them in the long run. Do you think pitting the two friends against each other is a good idea, or do you think it might damage their friendship? That is extremely relevant now that Jay finally got permission from Alvey to fight Ryan. 'Kingdom' Creator Previews Nate's Sexuality Struggles, Navy Street's First Female Fighter It was moving to see how far Jay has come since last season. This time around it was to show his genuine gratitude for all the people who got him there. It was, because if Jay had won that fight in season one, his speech would have been all ego and showboating. I hope that was reflected in my speech when I won. That’s been Jay’s whole arc this season, learning humility. But ultimately, this movement towards humility on my part, this physical step backwards and down in weight, has allowed me to take a very large step forward spiritually. It was quite easy for him to ask for this health sacrifice but has been so reluctant to acknowledge his own demons and afflictions. It’s unfortunate that the man who calls himself my father asked me to make this physical sacrifice rather than asking me to deal in a meaningful way with my addictions to the wounds that he’s caused within the family. It feels like I’ve gone through hell and back. ![]() So how’s he feeling in the wake of his win? I’m living Jay’s life.Īs of right now, Jay doesn’t know that Christina overdosed. There’s a diet, the physical aspect of it, and the character is so rich and deep that I never truly escape him. It’s such an immersive experience taking on this role, like no other role I’ve ever played before. There were a lot of reasons why I had to lose that weight, but the most important was for fighters to have that part of the fighting experience authentically portrayed. Although I think my wife might be even more happy that it’s over. ![]()
