The Stranger: Avan Jogia on Why JJ Becomes the Believer Clare Needs
Maika Monroe leads The Stranger on Quibi as Clare, an aspiring writer who moves to Los Angeles ready to live her dream. Trouble is, while working as a ride share driver, she winds up picking up Carl E. (Dane DeHaan), someone with a far more sinister agenda than catching a ride to LAX. When Clare turns to the cops for help, they don’t believe her. And not being believed is an issue that pops up quiet a few times through The Stranger’s 13-episode run. But, that’s where Avan Jogia’s character JJ comes in because, even though JJ and Clare complete strangers at the start of the series, he’s the only one willing to help her.
While chatting with Jogia and writer-director Veena Sud about developing the character of JJ, Jogia spoke a bit about his backstory and what might make him the type of person who believes Clare when no one else will. Check out what they said in this interview!
