Jay Harrington S.W.A.T.
He appeared as Sergeant II David “Deacon” Kay, a ten-year veteran of the S.W.A.T. team in the American procedural action drama television series S.W.A.T. Kay was passed over for promotion in favor of Hondo following the Raymont Harris shooting. Although he accepts the decision, he later reveals to Hondo that he was upset of being passed over but came to terms with it after seeing how effective Hondo was as a leader. His call sign is 30-David. He serves as the team’s second-in-command and mentors his teammates, as well as an instructor at the LAPD SWAT Academy.
He is deeply committed to his work with SWAT and protecting the people of Los Angeles, and he was even awarded the LAPD Police Star at the end of Season 2. He is also very loyal to his teammates, particularly Hondo, whom he considers family. His dedication to the squad is only matched by his devotion to his wife Annie (Bre Blair) and their three children, Matthew, Lila, and Samuel. In “School,” it is revealed that his daughter, Lila, was named after a school shooting victim. Midway through Season 2, Annie gives birth to another daughter, Victoria. In Season 3, he takes on a second job with a private security firm.
The story revolves around Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson of the Los Angeles Police Department. Hondo, a lifelong Los Angeles resident and former Marine, has been appointed to lead the Los Angeles Police Department’s new “last stop” Special Weapons and Tactics team. Hondo feels extremely committed not only to his “brothers in blue” but also to the people they serve because he is both black and born and bred in Los Angeles.
Jay Harrington Better Off Ted
Jay plays Ted Crisp on the show and is both a main character and an on-camera narrator. Throughout the show, he breaches the fourth wall by speaking directly to the audience, providing insider knowledge and observations as the event unfolds around him. Another storyline aspect involves the use of mock commercials for Veridian Dynamics, thematically tied to individual episodes and put at the end or beginning of actual commercial breaks in most episodes.
Jay Harrington The Inside
He appeared Paul Ryan, a young, married agent who Web chose to be his ‘conscience’ in the American crime drama television series The Inside. He is idealistic and kind, and he sees everything in black and white. He is frequently paired up with Agent Locke, which leads him to learn her prior secret. He and Web have argued several times on differing principles. Originally, his name was supposed to be Paul Fatorre.
Another story point is the moral conflict between Webster, who appears to be eager to utilize Rebecca’s ability to apprehend the “unsub” at any cost, and Rebecca’s partner Paul Ryan, who sees himself as the voice of conscience in the war for Rebecca’s soul. Furthermore, Webster’s background is unknown, leaving viewers wondering how much he has in common with the culprits he pursues.
