A Tragic Twist
Moss has taken that chance and run with it, exploring the psyche of a police officer in the aftermath of a tragic shooting.
“JJ didn’t know it was Theo. He had no idea,” contends Moss. “When he found out, he was like, Wait. No. Something is wrong… JJ’s dealing with, ‘Did I lose the criminal and just decide to shoot someone?’ That’s all going through his head. First, it’s adrenaline, adrenaline, adrenaline. Then, you start questioning.
“He’s dealing with the whole, Am I incompetent at my job? Am I trigger happy? Am I mentally not all there?” continues Moss.
“It’s really heavy with all of that in your head. There are all those thoughts, all those questions. What do you think happens when it gets too busy to shut it up? I don’t know whether it’s drugs, whether it’s alcohol…What is a person to do?”
A New JJ
Dark days are clearly ahead for JJ, and it’s sure to cause some major changes in him.
“Because of this incident, you would expect for him to go into a hole,” says Moss. “But there are multiple instances that shape what’s going to happen to him.”
Moss’ reaction to tackling it all has been “good… ready to go. There’s a reason why actors make it in their late 20s, early 30s. You’ve been around. You’ve had enough conversations with people. You’ve been in enough situations where you can empathize with everyone around you. If you can’t empathize, you can’t be a good actor.”
