Mythic Quest co-star Jessie Ennis creates an unforgettable presence on the AppleTV+ series. Her Jo is a motivated ladder climber who would literally step over bodies to get what she wants. She enjoys personal humiliations and seeks out weaknesses in her enemies to exploit on her own time. Her character debuted as a frequently hilarious minor character over Season 1, but her influence grew into Season 2 as she matured into a bigger presence. She often completely steals scenes with a delicate blend of physical comedy and biting insults.
Just the way Jo would have it.
Jessie Ennis, in the real world however, is an incredibly sweet actress. She comes prepared for her interview with me with a warm smile and welcome demeanor. You’re instantly caught off-guard, actually, trying to negotiate the difference between the actress before you who creates such a vitriolic persona on-screen.
Find out here in this AwardsDaily video interview how Jessie Ennis creates such a toxic persona in Jo from her own warm and gentle personality. She talks about how Lucille Ball inspired her love of physical comedy. She also dives into Jo’s relationships with men and women in the Mythic Quest offices. Finally, she reveals what she would most like to see in a potential third season.
Mythic Quest streams exclusively on AppleTV+.
