“Lieutenant Lisa Davis is the Intel Officer for the elite particular ops unit Bravo Crew. My character is extraordinarily pushed in her job and likewise deeply tied to the SEAL Crew she works to guard. She considers them to be her household. It is this mixture of breaking stereotypes and having these difficult relationships that make my character somebody audiences get connected to watching. What initially grabs folks’s consideration is that my character is the one navy lady working within the midst of this hardcore SEAL workforce. Being a Black lady in these areas provides one other important layer. I’ve discovered that the tales of girls (and particularly girls of shade) in male-dominated navy areas are sometimes ignored on digital camera. I really like that I get to deliver certainly one of these tales to mild.
I discover the ‘die-hard’ followers at all times come again to my on-again, off-again romance with Sonny, one of many guys on the SEAL Crew. That type of pressure at all times retains viewers hooked and is what followers at all times need to talk about in the event that they cease me on the street.”

Like all of us, he’s flawed and has sacrificed lots. He loves the Banks household, and but each lovely second he experiences with them makes him miss his family, particularly his son Frederick, who means the world to him. The viewers loves G—a.okay.a. Geoffrey—for a lot of causes, however primarily as a result of he’s the wild card of the present. We’ve got changed “one-liners” with him getting issues #Dealt with or #Sorted. Folks additionally snicker and joke at the truth that we’ve not seen Geoffrey do any butler duties in two seasons of Bel-Air. He’s intriguing and mysterious, and also you by no means know what he’ll do subsequent—G do not play!
