“This man was an absolute treasure. Buddy Duress was one of the most entertaining people I’ve ever met, and his stories were unrivaled,” he shared.
“I remember watching him in Good Time in 2017 and thinking, ‘That is what the future of acting needs to be. That guy,'” Jay reminisced.
“He brought a certain authenticity and charisma to the screen that you just don’t see anymore,” Jay reflected.
“It was a dream to have him in Mass State Lottery, and I feel privileged to have been his director and friend,” Jay added.
