Micheal Ward breaks down the most iconic Top Boy scenes | Action Replay | British GQ - Розваги
Never felt so attached to a character as I felt with Jamie. I can't imagine next season without him.
worse than i agree with you because i also just loved jamie's character for me the best, he stef and aron i loved the three a lot! I was very sad about his death, I hope next season it's either a dream of jamie or stef gets revenge on sully!
@@pamelaandreoli3107 The end of that hallway scene had me in a panic. I suspected what was going to happen and paused like 5 times 😭. It made no difference. But you're braver than I am, I can't even think about watching next season. I honestly might not
He will be in it tryst they make it out like it was a dream that he killed his friend and the at he got killed
@@girlnamed_ej2492 The next season won't be funny without jamie, but I'm going to watch it because I want to see stef avenge Jamie's death by killing sully! I'm crazy for this to happen because I hate sully!
@@kalthoummahmoud6655 I hope that's what it is!
SPOILER: Jaime’s character had a lot more to give. But this show is a reflection of real life and sometimes our favorite people get taken out. This shows how good the series is because I felt like I really lost my homie 🤦🏿♂️
Glad someone said it. His death means so much more if had just stayed alive. The streets eats everyone in the end. And I believe Sully Jaq and Dushane will lose in the end as well.
@@royaltyblessed2454 I think sully vs dushane will happen in the final season or sumn else will happen to make them fight
His death has got us watching content outside of the show lol, knowing we aren't gonna see him again
That’s why I think they done it. Everyone is so pressed at them for killing him but I think it just goes perfectly with the actual show
@@royaltyblessed2454 The writings on the wall for Dushane with those ‘heart palpitations’, nothing good ever comes from that. Sully will ride off into the sunset.
Michael Ward is gonna be the next up no lie he's already such a great actor giving authentic performances all the time
Fr he done so good in blue story and top boy
need some versatility in his discography but yeah man
@@m.gustave8068 that’s nice to hear. I hope he goes far
Factz I definetly wanna see him do Hollywood roles! He could even be the New Black Panther along with Laetitia!
@@aidanLVbeats lovers rock definitely showed some type of versatility
When Sully shot Jamie the air left the room. Moved me to tears. I like that the writers made Sully very consistent. He does not forgive betrays if any kind. I immediately started thinking about the fate of Jaq and Lauryn. Is he going to take them out next. Dushane is not outside of his radar either, because he was aware of Lauryn’s actions and didn’t update Sully.
The script and execution is so real. Jamie I absolutely love u you out in this role. Congrats on the award. Well deserved!
Couldn’t agree more. I was very worried when he offered jaq for the sister to stay in his home.. thought he’d choke her to death
Yes !! Sully doesn’t forgive a soul and the fact the writers made sully have mental illness and dushane have something ailing him . They’re both sick want to see what will happen to both of them next season
Which award did he get?
Jaq nor Lauryn gave orders to take Sully out. They should be fine til the next problem comes up lol.
@@eskayh7734 it wasn’t jamie that bussed shots at sully either, if you’re connected, you’re connected and that’s all sully needs to get you done
The youngest brother will definitely be a shooter next season and I believe little sims will step into the game because dushane will have health problems
fr and the older brother is gonna try to be jamie 2
@@rzviii both of them watch but the young brother going to go off the deep end
@@rzviii no he isn’t 😭😭😭😭 it will be Stefan Aaron is a good guy
@Liam Davidson I mean a lot of people are outraged maybe what they can do next season if Michael wants to keep playing jamie is making the encounter of him and sully being a dream because in a way jamie fears what could happen while being a summerhouse gangster. Either way I see the last season being the finale because Dushane has health problems and sully is for sure gonna die either to them peckham man, Dushane, or Stef.
100 percent
I would probably view someone like Jamie in real life as a scumbag if I didn't know he was doing everything for his brothers. Seeing how he went from being Dushane's nemesis in season 1 to his sideman in season 2 was interesting. Jamie is a fascinating character and was played really well so was hoping he would stay on to become Dushane's right hand man. I see the reasons behind Sully's actions but it just felt a bit premature.
💯💯💯
They jumped the gun way too early
Nah I don't think they did... I really believe the suddenness of his death is what adds depth to the show. It avoids plot armor. Now I definitely believe we need another realistic and sudden death next season as well. My vote is Sully or Jaq
@@royaltyblessed2454 I agree. I didn’t expect it. But a good show is not one that you can easily predict. We all thought Jamie would just be the next top boy eventually after displacing dushane. The death was realistic somewhat and completely shakes what you thought you knew. I’m ok with that. Big risk big rewards
@@wariocheats9701 Fr, like everyone could see right through that Jamie would've gunned for Dushane at some point or another, especially Sully, and rather than waiting for Jamie to become a problem and then Sully telling Dushane "we should've dealt with him like I always said" he looked out for the family and took care of an obvious problem before it became too hot to handle. Like he really took care of business... cut him off before he could even think of becoming top boy again🤣🤣🤣
Nothing of the slang felt forced until Pebbles came in😭
When Jamie died I felt like I lost my brother😂
Me too
fax
Jamie’s character was so rich. You could see how much Michael put into the character hence and how much his fellow actors vibed off him. Jamie was a true fan favourite ♥️
Michael Ward and Kano are such good rappers in this show it’s actually a disgrace that they’ve not been nominated for Emmys, especially Kano because in the last season his acting around Jason’s death was ridiculously good
Only American shows are nominated for emmys
@@goodftoest is that the rule or just how it goes similar to the Grammies?
@@barry4649 it’s just a rule
@@goodftoest fair enough then
Rappers??
Just spent all day watching season 2, amazing
Same but technically it's season 4
Was u speechless at the end
@@lukeburns7022 I was
Shittest ending tbf
Wish I'd paced myself 🙆♂️🤣
Spoiler . Jamie's death scene being so sudden was perfect . It's exactly how it usually goes in gang life. Nobody is safe and everybody is paranoid. Plus the end sequence was great. The young boy escaping hardship to a new life of hope by using Jamie's watch which represents his time on earth ending and then his death which shows how his younger brother has just lost any hope of escaping the gangs now that his brother is gone to keep him safe.
That last shot to head Sully gave him, his brothers yelling for him to get up....brutal
Good parallel with passing the watch, never made that connection myself
The sad part is, Everything in top boy is 100% accurate , and some people who live that type of life don’t even know about top boy , for them it’s a daily thing
Michael Ward is by far the best actor and character on Top boy
You are smoking
@@haizee2330 he’s not lying
He's definitely good and has a bright future in acting
But kano is better broski
Especially in the first 3 original season's
But that's just my opinion
Dude
Also people are sleeping on Dris
Killed*
The dude that acted as curtis was scary af tho, sully too
that scene with Blakie in the mall will always be my favorite scene from the show. The way he talks and shifts his eyes makes him someone i would never want to deal with on the road
True. Just wild and terrifying in some massively unhinged and unpredictable way.
That part really confused me, like did he have mental issues or something? scary.
💯
Hope to see Michael in a lot more projects in the future, Jamie quickly became my favourite character and he went through so much development over both seasons with family being his only motivation by the end of it.
I like the dance steph did in that Aaron’s graduation scene 😂
I think it was improvised as well
the happy scenes right before he got killed made it way more painful - i rlly thought the season might end on a light one and then they completely switched it around. I can't believe he was killed so quick after all that character development😓😓 but i love the plot twist
Can't wrap my head around the fact that they did Jamie so dirty. Actually infuriating.
He was a snake.
I’m burning but he was definitely gonna be a problem for deushane and sully
And why did they have to eliminate the hood looking character..... maybe he’ll survive da da daaaaaa you never know !
Good looking
@@jayecanada977 guy he got a whole bullet to the head 💀💀💀💀
Michael Ward definitely brought that "Man fi dead" energy to Top Boy 💯🔥🔥
dis brudda deserves an oscar
No he doesnt . Gotta put in more work for that Oscar
"It's Always Good To Have Loads Of Different Sides To Tap Into But Still Make This Person Feel As One." That's exactly what Jamie is... In season 2 with the homeless Moroccan boy and then next scene he's handling his business. For sure my favorite character.
*season 4
Jamie was such a good character bro 😢
Jamie is the best overall actor in the show.
--his presence as the leading man was undeniable:---I am not sure then why they decided that the person carrying the show is the one to killed off----maybe they have to write him out because he has other projects that prevents him from continuing with the show; or even a personal situation that prevents him from continuing in the future show.
You must be joking. His younger brother is a far superior actor
@@haizee2330 no
Kano
Jamie was the best man how they done him like that 💀😭
Cheers for the spoiler :(
Who’s here after watching the finale 😢
This is what always made top boy great, they found real people who actually know what’s going on in the streets and they let them be themselves.
He’s so talented ! And this smile 🤒
1st ep of season 2 scene is my favorite and whole vibe with Burna Boy playing throughout Jamie’s release 😩💃🏽
This new season of Top Boy (Season 4) really made me a fan of "Jamie" definitely will be watching more stuff starring Michael Ward.
Check out Small Axe: Lovers Rock for starters
@@steewith2ees14 and Blue Story is decent too
@@MacrobianNomad blue story was nowhere near as good as Kidulthood
These vids with analysis/reflections from the actors are so insightful. Understand their process better, their exploration of character and development as actors.
Excellent actor 👏
RIP to the best character i've ever seen..
I just cried at the end of Season 2. No spoilers !
Same bro I didn't expect that
He was fr my favorite character bruh,made me fall in love with the show
He was legit TOP BOY how they gonna continue This🤦🏽♂️😭😂
nah man I was so mad bro
if there’s another season stef or Aaron better become top boy ong
This was really cool to watch. The little bits of info really help flesh out the situations you see and make everything else so much more alive!
Just noticed something, skip to 3:00, Jeffrey talks at the Summerhouse developments from Season 2, mad foreshadowing no one realised 😂
that's crazyyy
Mike a top tier actor and a real guy 💯
Literally killed the character that made top boy popular again. Hopefully we get an alternative ending because there’s no way they only done 8 episodes. Possibly 2 other endings. Jamie not killing his best friend escaping with his brother. Another ending Dushane failing to convince his closest friend not to testify. Dushane and sully get locked up. Jamie vs jaq over summerhouse
Surelyyy there’s 2 more episodes and this was just some kinda of imaginary situation bro
Forreal i feel like sully is worried deshane would make jamie his new partner because deshane saw sully as old and washed now so paranoia is the reason sully killed jamie
@@jhardworkpaysoff474 *Agreed.*
Are you lot forgetting Jamie tried to snake dushane? Something like that was always bound to happen
@@user-lx6fj3kf3j lol dushane literally had to snake Jamie in order to win the war
Just finished season two and bravo, Micheal. Bravo. So interesting to follow your career.
Stephan gonna go crazy next season I’ll tell u that I feel he gonna be one of main characters next season
This bro is such a great actor....thankful to come across your work!
They didn't deserve to do you like that at the end Jamie. You mad though. One of the only reasons i stayed involve this season.
I’m so sad
Jamie was carrying the whole show matter of fact they should’ve got rid of Sully instead so Jamie and Dushane could actually team up
@@idunno1091 one of those the death shook me so unexpected but it sets it up nicely for Sully and Dushane war but that's not even a good storyline ngl
@@idunno1091 Jame just sorted things out with his brothers as well, sad to see it end like that
@@idunno1091 woah u tripping sully the best soldier on the show but they most definitely messed the. Storyline up killing jamie
everything that happened this season sets up an action packed follow up. curtis getting done. jamie. there’s a lot to happen in the future
I’m hurting about this. They need to reverse this immediately. Make it a nightmare and bring him back. He went too soon and in the worst way 😔💔 Nonetheless I loved every second of the season. Phenomenal ❤️🔥
same
I was also very sad about Jamie's death, it seems like it was a relative of mine, I was very attached to his character :( I hope it's just his dream, the series without Jamie is not funny!
@@pamelaandreoli3107 Exactly! I feel the exact same 😫🥺 it seems we all feel this way. I hope they hear our cries and give us what we what in the next season. It just can’t end this way 😭😭😭😭😭🥺
he’s a amazing actor, i love him
new season didn’t hit the same without jamie, guess it shows he was one of the main top boys
Love the brother. So charismatic all the way through. He didnt deserve the end in season 3. He deserved way more man. More than dushane or sully thats for sure man. Hope to see Michael in more productions he is really talented man❤️
Jamie was the main reason I watched season 2
I know ur mad asl rn
I hope it’s all a bad dream 🤞🏾
Me too. The end is such a disappointment
They ended it so quick too like bruh the main character and y'all jus finish him off in 3 bullets?
Lol everyone hyping jamie...Jamie... liked him last season but this season he wasn't doing too much but a halfway baked plot trying to make side deals. I wouldn't say he would be the reason for anyone atleast this season to solely watch for.
I liked how Jamie was always there for his brothers like he really cared
Please do a review of season 2 with Michael, would love to hear his thoughts on the season and the ending in particular
I understand the "technical" reasons the writers went the direction they did, but it was a mistake.
The best and almost the only real character arc in this series is now gone and I get that they predictably will try to recreate new character developments within the remaining cast but it won't be a bond anywhere near what they threw away.
I honestly want to know if the Actor wanted out due to other demands in his life?
When MJ stopped playing, I lost interest in the Bulls and these guys still have Pippen and a few role players but bad call coach.
Ps. Curtis was played perfectly by whoever that actor is. Big Shout out to him coz he really is a Star, infact whoever put this team together is extremely good at his/her job.
*SPOILER ALERT*
I'm almost convinced that Stef is going to get revenge and blast Sully away for what he did. Especially Sully looking him straight in the eyes before shooting Jamie.
Lil' dude lost his parents, his best friend and now his big bro. You know he's going savage mode next season.
I met michael in a shopping centre in Canary Wharf with his girl he was the nicest most genuine guy we spoke for like 10 minutes and he took multiple pictures with us and was really chill. bless him for his future
He has a girl?
Ughh Jamie!! What am amazing show!!
Had crazy hopes for the future of top boys! Looking forward to your future projects
Michael Ward absolutely killing it in this role once again. 🔥🔥🔥
Michael ward really brought something special to the character
I loveeeeee Jamie and was SHOCKED and sooooo sad at the end of season 2. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 great acting Jamie

Yo Curtis was a really big stand out this season. Every scene he was in..I felt he was gonna *snap* at any second, but he still kept calm and I was like 😳. I really wanted the writers to keep him in the show beyond season 2 he was sooo good! 👌💯
Lol did you compare Jamie to michale jordan?
this is what people thought with The Wire, Game Of Thrones. this is normal
@@montenegroafro4454 His sister is still around and i think she was just as scary of a character in her own way, looking forward to the revenge plotline next season
If Jamie was killed in episode 1 or 2 or even 3 of that second season..I would have stopped watching..still breaks my heart he was shot..for obviously no solid reason…every man dreams of stepping up.. even Dushane and Kano did similar thing to get up…
I am not sure I’ll watch season 3…there’s really no more big story left…
I lovveeee his character! Very authentic
Will never be over how top boy did Jamie
JAMIE WAS THE BEST ACTOR FOR ME.. DISPLAY OF EMOTIONS.. REALLY MADE ME FEEL IN SYNC WITH HIS CHARACTER
Someone at work told me about this show and I finally got round to it last week, binge watched right from Top Boy Summerhouse and without a doubt, Jamie was my favourite character! Despite him being the ruthless ZTs leader, the soft side he shows towards his brothers and the duality of Jamie amazingly executed by Michael Ward, had me drawn in as soon as he got introduced in the Top Boy season 1. Don’t think I’ve ever rooted for a TV baddie as much as I rooted for him! I felt outrage when he got shot. Brilliantly written show and Jamie’s character simply writer’s masterpiece 👌🏻
When they played the music and had the montage running at the end of the season, I was like well that’s it what a great season. I was on my phone like the last minute of the episode when it happened. I immediately had to rewind. This is one of the craziest seasons of tv I’ve ever seen, it’s like the wire except for with quicker and heavier big moments. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen can’t wait for next season
The scene of Jamie coming home felt the exact same as when I came home
Joe momma trust me when I was 13 my step cousin come out of pen and real life was very ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Michael ward is just such a amazing actor bro is just too good for me he's the best british actor
This makes me love jamies character even more
Amazing actor!! Crazy
If anyone actually thinks that Michael out acted Kano the last 2 seasons... you are HIGH!
The Kid's a brilliant Actor, but Kano has gone next Level with acting. Best Actor of the whole show. I believe the writers made the right decision with Jamie's fate this season. It makes absolute sense from a writers perspective.
Amazing Show!
micheal clear of that bum
Sully is the true top boy
Kano is not a better actor than Micheal ward and Sully is not a better character than Jamie lol
@@oneshak Stay High!🤣
@@shgarli45 It’s a popular opinion that Micheal is the best actor on the show and it isn’t a coincidence at all. Kano done his thing but Micheal is literally superior, and Jamie as a character had so much more depth and potential to him than Sully. he was the saving grace of the show and since they killed him off there’s been a huge backlash, ain’t nobody watching next season of top boy without jamie.
Jamie was an excellent character, man played him supremely.
I was very impressed. Man like Kano decided enough was enough.
Retirement plan? Nah bruh, I ain't getting out and neither are you.
Great vid
I really like this dude, in person and as an actor 💯‼️
I love u Michael I cant believe ur gone it hurts....
I love Michael. He's so authentic and down to earth. I hope more opportunities will come his way, he is great actor and person.
They did boy wrong, but he was shady
Factss🤧
The whole cast are shady 😂
fr
They're all shady and kinda back stabbing each other, homie didn't deserve to go like that in front of his little brothers
Jamie aka Michael ward is the best actor in top boy also kano have so much respect for them thy will both go far and make dreams a reality bless up to them both
Man I watched this whole show because of his character, he was kind of that good kid.
Bro really jumped into the top 10 saddest fictional deaths of all time
such a good actor
This show reminds me so much of where I grew up on the Rez and love the slang is so similar
Awesome tv show. Gritty and moody. Great tension and relatable characters. Very cool and believable storyline’s. Gd stuff guys.
finished in less than 24 hours. i was shocked at the ending 😲
well yeah the season doesnt have 24 episodes
Those classic clips put me click subscribe this channel, loved.
He’s so fine, love him, wish him the best in acting
dis guy is next level
Its sad to see this after watching what happened .. such a great character.
He is one legit actor innit. GG Bro this show got hooked me up for real.
Amazing actor keep it up big man
Just finished man crazy ending hoping it was like a dream frfr
I’m watching this to help myself feel better about the last episode of season 2🙃
Top Boy great acting , great characters, 🤩🤩🤩😭😭😭😎😎😎👌👌👌🫶🫶🫶🫶💪🙏🤦♂️
Rip Jamie, love
He's so handsome and good to his brothers I adore him lol
My man got violated in front of his bros…
He really did amazing as Jamie, it was perfect.
Great character played by great actor. Been a fan since BLUE STORY (my favorite movie ever) and I'm from Los Angeles lol got me talking like I'm from road
He's so young but already so wise. And that's why he will continue to be cast in roles of characters that he will be able to make memorable! 🌟
I know Mahershala Ali was cast as Blade but if he set his heart on it I think Micheal would be amazing 🥺 Oh well 🤷🏽♀️
U done good bro. 💯
Loved his character in top boy 😢
Tbh when I saw Micheal Ward, just recognised the man from Blue story… I respect this dude niche of acting ❤️
Do one of these for the rest of s2
They need to fix that ending broo
I like programs like this it shows the world your true colours
Good actor. Great show.
Michael ward is going to be a great, mark my words
