During the interview, Jessie T. Usher admits his characterization of his The Boys character is based on cocky athletes, especially those at the top of their game.
“I always felt like really cocky athletes have that same persona. When you see guys come out of college or whatever, and they’re on top of their game, and they’re killing it in their rookie year — in the NBA they show them walking through the tunnel leading up to the game, and it’s like they don’t even see people. They’re just above the world.”
For the most part, he likes his role, but there are two things that Jessie T. Usher admits are rather annoying about playing A-Train on The Boys. The first is that people always assume he’s a runner.
However, during the interview, Jessie T. Usher says that the only time he runs is during his role as A-Train in The Boys. And even then, he doesn’t run much. Most of his racing in the show is done post-production, he just has to start the movement.
