Jay Will joined Garret Hedlund, his “Tulsa King” Season 1 co-star, to talk with UPI about their time working on the new show. During the interview, Will elaborated on what he hoped to accomplish with the character of Tyson Mitchell in the crime drama series.
“I wanted to tell a story about when it is in one’s life that they start to live for themself, make decisions for themself, and take full responsibility for the actions they’ve done in the past,” Will said. “This is where that happens. ‘Tulsa King’ is in that time for Tyson.”
Despite appearing in two episodes of the whimsical comedy series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Will’s role in “Tulsa King” is by far his most notable work, as the actor appears as a central character in all nine episodes of the first season of the series (via IMDb). Will understands this fact, calling the opportunity “an honor” to play the role of Tyson in “Tulsa King.” Will also understands the nuances of the role and the fact that much of the role of Tyson is grounded in the opportunity the character sees in working with Dwight.
“He hasn’t seen opportunity. He has seen the mundane every day, getting up, going to work, going to school, coming back, repeating that loop. Before Dwight, Tyson couldn’t break that loop,” the actor concluded.
