There's a great deal to be said about this mysterious character- but much of it we can't give away just yet! What we can tell you is this: he is another person from Jolee’s past. This dashing young man first made his appearance in Jolee’s life when they met on a train during vacation. He was alone in the empty dining car, reading the book of Psalms, no less. They talked and by the end of conversation Jolee thought he wasn’t too weird, he was...sort of interesting. She left him that day never thinking she would see him again.
Jolee was wrong. Upon meeting Charlotte, she was soon introduced to Charlotte’s best friend – Jay. The three began to hang out and soon Jay and Jolee became quite close. Until the day he received the news he was hoping he would never have to hear; Jolee was moving again and this time it was permanent.
There is so much Jay has to keep secret from those he wants to tell the most - especially Jolee.
Will history repeat itself? Will Jay appear when she least expects it, proving their meeting was no coincidence? Will he somehow connect with the Crew? Time will tell!
BEHIND THE SCENES:
Name: Bryson Funk
Bryson is another crew member who is blessed with a set of "golden pipes", meaning
he can sing! He enjoys singing in front of an audience whenever he can, writing
his own music and playing guitar and, of course, acting as well. When free time does
comes around, Bryson spends his time as a field reporter for Insight. A web based
show where the audience decides what they want to watch! !
Bryson's other talent is in the kitchen. He's a very good cook and baker. The Crew
has been fortunate enough to taste some of his delicious creations.
(Do we have a future "Iron Chef" in the making?)
PRODUCER NOTES:
At Bryson's initial audition he read with Mandy Foster (aka Jolee) for another role.
We reviewed his footage and noticed they had great on-screen chemistry.
So, we decided to audition him again for the role of Jay and the rest is history!
He really works well balancing the intensity of Jolee and Charlotte and it takes
a strong guy to be able to deal with those two ladies!
