![]() ![]() Sometimes things just work out, and a lot of it is the writers being utterly available to what’s gonna work in that moment and what’s gonna really make the audience feel something. To my mind, we landed on the one that is by far the most meaningful and the most interesting. There were different outcomes of that scene. But the scene itself came very, very late in the game. It’s hard for me to know the time because we overlapped episodes so much. At what point did you know where his path was heading? This season ends with an emotional moment as Ward gets to redeem himself, but then we see him fall off the cliff. It was just an interesting line to follow of, is he authentic? Is he feeling this? Is he using this to get the other gold? Why should anybody trust Ward? The answer is, they shouldn’t, but that doesn’t mean things can’t happen within him. The other thing is, not only does the audience not really know to the end, I don’t know how soon the writers knew how it was gonna go out. Not only that, he’s walking away with these horrible memories of laying his hands on his daughter, choking her. ( Laughs.) We’re all chasing this gold, but in the end, they walk away with that, and Ward walks away with nothing. They have the family that Ward has supposedly always been fighting for, and to my mind is the real treasure of the show. And meanwhile, the Pogues have nothing - literally the shirts on their back, and they’re on a deserted island - and they have everything. It was gratifying to get to explore that, but it also made total sense to me because, at the end of season two, Ward has everything - all the gold, the cross, he got away. But from the very beginning, they put it in the lines, and they allowed me to run wild with it, is that other side of Ward that makes people not exactly sure they hate him ( laughs) - where they might just see a human being under there. It’s been very gratifying to me because it’s not often that the bad guy gets any kind of emotional arc. How did you feel about season three and the ways in which Ward got to evolve? He also revealed that despite Boyce's immense talent, the Grown Ups actor remained humble and kind.Charles Esten on ‘Outer Banks’ JACKSON LEE DAVIS/NETFLIX ![]() He praised the star, who was 20 at the time of his death, for his "endless talent, kindness and joy for living." In a series of heartfelt tweets, Esten revealed that he knew Boyce's family well outside of the show. Even as his star ascended with JESSIE, and he began to receive the type of fame that can change people, I never saw that change. It was clear to all that he was destined to be the star he would soon become./2Īnd yet, Cameron never carried himself with anything but kindness, humility, effortless grace, and great humor. At his very 1st talent show, little Cameron’s dancing lit up the stage, and left everyone on their feet, cheering. It was there we were introduced to his endless talent, kindness, and joy for living. Years before I was blessed to play his father on JESSIE, we were blessed to know him and his wonderful family at the elementary school our kids all attended together./1 My family and I are devastated today, by the loss of our young and amazing friend, Cameron Boyce. ![]()
