Jay Ellis chats his 'Insecure' status as a 'lost boyfriend' and working with Issa Rae with Gold Derby's Riley Chow. He plays the boyfriend of protagonist Issa Dee (played by co-creator/head writer/executive producer Issa Rae), and reflecting on Lawrence’s arc, Ellis says, “When you meet him, he’s definitely at his low and he’s not sure of himself; he doesn’t have a lot of confidence. He’s insecure and we see him get some of those things back and grow to find himself a little bit, fall back in love with Issa and you see that relationship at its best and then you see it all fall apart at the same time.” Sign up to get Gold Derby’s free newsletter with experts’ latest predictions and breaking news. http://pages.email.goldderby.com/signup/
