Okay, let's talk about Justin. You know, from The Haves and the Have Nots. The one everyone loves to, well, not love.
He's the character that stirs up ALL the feelings. Mostly… complicated ones, right?
Who is *that* Guy?
So, who braves the role of Justin? The man behind the, shall we say, "interesting" decisions is Nicholas James.
Yep, Nicholas James. Not to be confused with Nick Jonas. Though, a musical number from Justin might be... something.
He took on the role of Justin, the troubled son of Jim Cryer, from the start of the show until it wrapped. Quite the journey!
More Than Just Justin?
But, is Nicholas James ONLY Justin? Nope! He's been around the acting block a few times.
You might recognize him from other shows and movies. He’s a working actor, doing his thing!
It's just that, let's be honest, Justin tends to overshadow everything else. He really does.
Let's Be Honest: Justin Opinions
Now, here's where I might lose some of you. Prepare yourselves.
Unpopular opinion alert: I don't *hate* Justin.
I know, I know. Hear me out! Is he frustrating? Absolutely. Does he make questionable choices? Constantly.
But isn't that what makes him... compelling? Soap operas thrive on drama. Justin brings the drama. And Nicholas James brings Justin to life.
The "Love to Hate" Factor
There's something about characters you love to hate, right? They keep you watching. They keep you talking.
Justin is definitely one of those characters. He is a master of making poor choices. He is a train wreck you can't look away from.
And you secretly (or not so secretly) root for him to maybe, just maybe, get it together. Eventually.
Nicholas James Deserves Some Credit
Regardless of how you feel about Justin, Nicholas James did a great job. That is undeniable.
He portrayed a complex, flawed character. It’s not easy to make someone so consistently aggravating but believable. That’s talent.
He has to tap into the mindset of someone constantly at odds with themselves and the world around them.
So, next time you're yelling at your TV screen because Justin did something ridiculous (again!), remember the actor. Nicholas James. He’s just doing his job!
He's playing a character designed to elicit a reaction. And he's clearly succeeding.
So, to Nicholas James, we salute you. For bringing Justin to life. And for giving us someone to talk about. Constantly.
