13 Reasons Why Star Says Bryce's Season 2 Ending 'Pissed' Him Off (Exclusive)

Justin Prentice, who plays Bryce Walker on '13 Reasons Why' sat down with ET, and also revealed where he thinks the series will go if season 3 is picked up. '13 Reasons Why' season 2 is streaming now on Netflix.

[@wolfiemcfox7080]

This dude played his role incredibly well. It's very hard for an actor to play a role they're so against in reality, and he certainly did a great job in making me hate his character

[@nicoreid4910]

I like Justin Prentice so much as a person

[@ririx7990]

Sameeee omfllll

[@josep9016]

same

[@sleeps573]

Yah i know its like that good side you see in bryce from time to time, usually when he wants something, is like Justin in real life all the time

You don't need to say his last name. There is only one Justin.

[@wreck-itrosie833]

justin prentice is such a beautiful person with such an understanding and pure personality and i just love him

[@Ledalea2737]

See, Justin Prentice hates his own character

[@mateusnogueira7340]

The actors always ignore the bathroom scene even when the interviewer try to speak about it. Probably they are traumatized

[@BestYessica]

\ll/MaTeuS\ll/ Yeah, in Behind the reasons Dylan Minnette had no words for that scene. It must be hard talking about it. Can't imagine how difficult it is for Devin Druid and Timothy Granaderos. Happily they had plenty of experts supporting them on set.

[@gabriel897100]

grenzgaengerin0904 is there a video or something. I just wanna see their thoughts about the scene.

[@serapia1976]

grenzgaengerin0904 it's simulation for Devin but must be terrible for Timothy

[@BestYessica]

Gabe The only Interviews I saw where on Netflix Behind the reason. There's only a little about that scene but I really recommend the full hour of bonus material.

[@mji8431]

It's also really annoying when people hate on the actors when *the actors themselves were probably also traumatized while filming*

[@andreaavina6446]

Bryce was bad but Monty was the worst

[@sabrinasabi55]

true

[@mierrajane7493]

True that

[@hannah7642]

Both as bad as each other tbh.

[@toby9337]

So you all are saying that raping a guy is worse than raping a girl? No, they were both equally as horrible

[@hannah7642]

Asension Martinez That's what I said

[@ruksarahmed1569]

Justin Prentice is incredible. He needs to stop getting hate from all the fans. He’s not his character, and if you do hate Justin, he’s doing a pretty damn good job at acting.

[@eleonora_cermi]

You are a great actor. I Hated Bryce so much because you Made it so real and thank you for your interpretation !!

[@mrs.beauty3793]

I love Justin (real person) I hate Bryce (character)

[@itsinfinite551]

Police will pull up and see clay with the gun and he will get arrested

[@Cheryskul]

Infinite yea I bet that will happen, take the blame for Tyler

[@Zoepro1998]

Duhh

[@farahshaheen7657]

Sakura Haruno unlikely. They could test the finger prints on the actual trigger. Also clay is holding the gun from the muzzle. No body holds a gun from the muzzle if they were going to shoot.

[@shanegallagher3524]

Farah • True enough

[@Cheryskul]

Farah • well I don't know alot about guns

[@cloroxbleach3407]

No one I believe realizes the part when Bryce during season 2 was interacting with some of his fans I really liked that moment

[@ohohnenyeoo2654]

ha he annoyed me his character is 💀 but he’s nice I guess he’s really good

[@SonnYoshi]

“His character is 💀” yeah literally lmao

[@ceci2662]

It’s so crazy how good of an actor Justin is because he’s so different from Bryce and he plays Bryce so well that it seems like an actual person and Justice is so nice... from what I can tell 💗

[@AngelWingsVA]

I think if there was a season 3 that it would be good if it did touch more themes that all teens and young adults go through, maybe like chloe with her pregnancy and the decision she'll have to make like getting an abortion, adoption or keeping the baby and becoming a mom, bryce starting at a new school with word of his rapist reputation and what will happen to porter

[@LL-ip5mm]

Angelica Desautels Yh i hope theres a season 3 i mean they left so many doors open for a season 3 like wat tyler will do next who will help him if hes gonna say wat monty did to him and chloes pregnancy

[@serapia1976]

Chloe is pregnant??

[@benshiffman7765]

I’m here hoping Porter goes to Bryce’s new school

[@DayoOgunde]

Serapia yes

[@mikasa8292]

Lol Bryce was nice when he was younger. Me: What happened?😂

[@joewhitehead3]

MikasaScarlett He was probably manipulative then to

[@justlola5651]

MikasaScarlett I know right !!

[@justlola5651]

Kassie R that kid was a bully

[@agentbuizel9875]

Lol it showed one incident and even in that you could tell he liked to get what he wanted

[@dav2830]

Kassie R He stole a bully's food to give it to a kid who cant afford food

[@jasonhernandez5214]

He reminds me so much of Chris Pratt. 😭💯👌

[@jessicajoerndt428]

We need JUSTICE for poor Tyler that was horrendous

[@lionelluva]

We need a season 3 because there’s so many other questions to answer and I would like to see a season of recovery, redemption and hope for all the characters.

[@muskaanjain7628]

Alexandra Griffiths But isn't it unreal? And it's not what they want to do. I know the show is fictional but they're trying to keep it as real as possible. They cannot suddenly show that everything's okay. At least they shouldn't or it will be less impactful.

[@lionelluva]

Muskaan Jain I hear you. Unfortunately, some children will not have a “happy” ending, but it would be good to see what if restoration happens.

[@maxtaylor2395]

His eyes are different from Bryce's. Justin is like sunshine, I can't believe how impressive he is as an actor. Massive respect and love!

[@kang_yura612]

Netflix usually makes sure every show has four or more seasons unless they shut the season down, so I think we're good. Also, 13 REASONS WHY WILL NOT SHUT DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S SO GOOOOOOD!!!!

[@israelsoria96]

Karl Sipat I believe Sense8 is a bit more expensive than 13 Reasons Why though that’s why they cancelled Sense8

[@aquathagohasty5502]

Sara Jay you really believe a show can't get cancelled because it's popular? Many shows that were doing great has had Early cancellations.

[@fanigrim]

Yeah like everything sucks.......

[@AJ-cq5pw]

Sara Jay Bloodline only lasted 3 seasons and so did Love. I'm okay with 13 reasons why ending after season 3. We don't need a full series of this. The show is great but not all shows need to last forever. And season 2 was okay it wasn't as great as season 1 so it doesn't need to keep going.

[@IAmNotNicolex]

Yeah it’s not that “good”. Stick to the book, kids.

[@mikasa8292]

I really want to comb the back of Justin's head rn. His cow lick is bothering me😂

[@serapia1976]

MikasaScarlett he's so charmingly handsome

[@sophiadavenport3959]

MikasaScarlett what is a cowlick

[@mikasa8292]

Patricia the booke A clump of hair sticking out where the rest of ones hair is groomed

[@petrajordan5119]

I think its because he has wavy hair. Not always easy to handle

[@ladypeace8912]

I don't get this argument that Chloe testified the way she did because she found out she was pregnant! Did everyone just forget that she initially got on the stand to testify against Bryce? She only changed her mind that second when looking at his stare in front of her. If knowing she was pregnant was going to stop her, she wouldn't have testified or came to Jessica's side in the first place. Plus the finale was at least a month after the trial so she obviously found out later on.

[@vivi-vw8jd]

Nawar Yeah that’s exactly what I thought!

[@brucetucker4847]

I don't think she knew she was pregnant when she testified.

[@CrazyRusly]

can wait see next season ! all i want say thank you cast im doing charity for kids getting bullies or disabel teaching self defends and playing activites awsome show

[@sawadatsunayoshi3739]

You know someone's a good actor when he/she portrayed the character so well that you want to choke him/her to death and put his/her body in a dumpster and let him rot in hell. Bravo Justin Prentice👏 #GenderEquality So people wont get butt hurt

[@pizzazz8307]

Dude, just say they

[@ilphi08]

Do you remember he played a gentle kind guy whom dated Becky Jackson in Glee?

[@tacituskilgore22]

*Amazing actor*

[@karenteja]

Justin Prentice is such an amazing actor tbh

[@aMyth10]

I'm still thinking about Hannah Last speech clay says I still can't forget it

[@TheFashiongirl05]

I can’t imagine what the mood and intensity is like in the room filming some of those scenes as a show all together. I think I’m one of the interview videos with somebody that they have on site counselors.

[@HeyitsBri_]

He did a very good job in making everyone hate him but also see his charm. It's true how athletes are protected and let off easy because of their halo effect and pedestal they're put on, especially in small towns where things can be pushed under the rug.

[@CarolsVideos]

How come no interviews talk about the bathroom scene? I understand it's a spoiler but everything else they are talking about is a spoiler too. They paint Tyler as the school shooter and talk about the gun violence, but they aren't talking about WHY he brought the guns to school.

[@stephenjohnson555]

CarolsVideos just like if it were real

[@perrie7052]

They’re giving us season three!!!!!!! 💕💕

[@hannah7642]

SEASON THREE PLEASE

[@karly_ongrowth]

Honestly I'm watching people's reaction videos and interviews like this before i watch S2 properly myself. Taking it slow, i'm only up to ep 3 but i love Justin Prentice. Of course Bryce as a character is unsettling and horrible but to be able to play him so well is still a brilliant job well done.

[@Nandie27]

I can't wait for Season 3!! Justin plays his character really well 👌

[@swanson5014]

He is a good actor. Upset about his role 😂.

[@courtneyann8581]

It's amazing how much different he is in real life. Just goes to show how good of an actor he really is.

[@jamiederosa9807]

Please, let there be a season 3 and 4 .... I love this show!

[@jess5460]

People gotta stop hating on Prentice...it's a character, not his actual self

[@rravitejamavr6650]

That last words of Chlöe explains a lot about why she did it what she did at Trail and seems very realistic and perfectly Justified......

[@connerpettit4384]

I love this show, but as the famous Tina Fey said "Pick a lane"

Bryce is the Ultimate villain 😂

Cant wait for season 3!!!

[@jacobsherman8666]

God, I can't wait for season 3!

[@bulmachan1438]

I hate how ppl give him hate he is not Bryce he is an actor!! Nd doing a good job at it if ppl thinks he’s actually like that 😅

[@dink7458]

I didn't even watch the bathroom scene and I was traumatized. I saw monty enter and I got scared that the show was gonna do something insane and I skipped ahead and read what happened. I'm glad I didn't watch it because I might have never been able to sleep ever again.

[@Fitforacting]

Great seeing him speak but.....(spoiler alert) would have been nice to see in the title

[@lexiblesi7640]

I’m so glad Bryce got off so easily because it is so realistic

[@Shaylzr]

I love Justin. HES SUCH A BB 🥺

[@coralroberts7795]

Love how excited he is for a season 3 poor guy we all know how that turned out 😂

[@dearmakeupdiary]

I loved his performance, he’s one of the best actors in the series. Great job! BTW I don’t know anyone who liked that ending... it was like they let it go too far. It was just enough to have *spoiler alert * Tyler arriving in the school and just CUT! Season over but the actual ending was simply #MEH 😖

[@HannahEmilia]

wow Justin is actually so sweet and I feel so bad for him for the amount of hate he's getting :(

[@josep9016]

same my guy... same

[@MeaghanAlyssa]

God please give us a third season!! 🤞🏻

[@joyquinones6361]

Best actor!! What a great job he did

[@theinvisibleme4104]

He is such a good actor. Maybe too good

[@akasynergy5504]

The ending also pissed me off

[@aishadababi2629]

I REALLY LIKE HIM GUYS 😍😍😍💖💖💖😘😘😘

[@ilphi08]

Who'd you hate more,Bryce or Joffrey Baratheon?

[@chloeepinay15]

Guys!! Check Justin's Instagram and that of the entire cast 😉 you're welcome x

[@fifette1426]

I find it weird watching Justin in interview, because I dislike his character so much but think the actor is so likeable 😂 good actor!

[@katelynhauck4459]

WILL. there be a season 3? Is the question.

[@joewhitehead3]

I don’t think money should be able to buy someone trouble anymore can it? Since everything’s out in the open now

[@mohamedrishad6011]

He needs 2 be there in s3 he was the most unpredictable character i wanted 2 see how his life is in the new school and the changes

[@kaydenvlogs8848]

Bryce Walker looks like Superman with the glasses,who agrees?

[@Ajay-xb8ti]

One hell of a actor

[@justsomegirl4904]

Lol bet he’s even more pissed that he’s dead😂 actually Mabey not I don’t think Justin likes Bryce I’m mean who does😆😂

[@elladocherty5477]

People are saying we didn’t need a season 2 but we did. We needed to know if Hannah got justice, we need to know if Jess was going to testify we needed to know what will with Bryce. Of course we needed a season 2 and we need a season 3 to see if Tyler gets better and see if clay gets in trouble. But that’s my opinion

[@Mariam-ck7cs]

He is so good at acting i cant convince myself this is NOT Bryce, you dont have to hate him in this interview lmao

[@ervin9999]

He plays his role so good it’s hard to like him in real life 😂

[@xxxgladysgarciaxxx8128]

U know what they should make 13sesones

[@rainyclouds7631]

I hated Bryce so much and when I heard he was gonna be dead at the end of the season I was fine with that but when I started watching the third season I was getting more and more attached to him and at the end I felt so sorry for him and I kinda really like him now but then he gets brutally murdered and I can just feel the pain that he felt I mean he could'nt stand up and he was just in so much pain and I felt so sorry for him and then he had to drown and here I am crying because I feel so sorry for him :((((

[@chloeallen6393]

I think one of the best aspects of this show was the acting. Almost every character gave it their all, and they did excellent with the writing they had.

[@damianhaineault411]

Other schools had jocks, I had thugs...my hometown has a bad reputation

[@TheMirella7]

honestly , best actor in the whole series , the rest weren't so good lmao.

[@mason0938]

mirella Justin Folley was amazing

[@danieldsilva8322]

Porter was good too

[@marianalima9318]

What about Clay? He was good

[@zeyneph.4749]

mirella actually the acting in season 2 wasn't as good IMO

[@lollipop823]

Jess was great also!

[@dinaaguilar514]

It's so hard to see him in not character

[@SugarDaddyWhite]

What me pissed of was that mr Porter and Marcus disappeared

[@katiebrown7099]

Me with his character on screen: 🤮🤢🖕🖕🙄 ALRIGHT DUDE TO TRIP OVER A KNIFE (Billie fans will get it) Me with his character off screen: 🤪🙂☺️

[@ilovemusic1823]

K so I love the show I think it brings awareness and opens up conversations. But the broom scene was too much for me. I had to look away and was literally sobbing. I just wish they would have kept that part out. Anyways love the show but the last scene turned my stomach way too much.

[@mfjones5]

13RW is about Hannah Baker. Her story was told so a 3rd season wouldnt make sense, but a spinoff would be a good idea

[@JordanAyjayeHarrison]

Kev you must not have watched season 2 like... At all lol the entire season showed us more of the other characters and how they were dealing with things. The character development for both Justin and Zach was amazing and Hannah... Was just a ghost. And an annoying one at that. 13RW is so much more than just "Hey, it's Hannah Baker. Live and in stereo.." idk about you but I've come to love these characters: Jessica, Justin, Zach, Alex, Tyler, Sheri, Clay, Tony and even Courtney. So a season 3 could definitely work. I honestly could see at least 2 more strong seasons for this show if not more

[@jamiecotter7640]

13 reasons why was to tell hannah’s story which does not mean they have to finish it and finish other storys that are happening in real life that we don’t really talk about

[@mfjones5]

jamie Cotter which is why i said a spinoff would be a good idea to tell stories of these other wonderful characters

[@mfjones5]

Jordan Ay'Che i agree i love these characters too and there is more to their story, but hannahs story was told and its done which is why i said a SPINOFF would be good to explore these characters. All i ment was that it woild be an insult to the name "13RW" because it was Hannahs story.

[@serapia1976]

Jordan Ay'Che I wanna see more of Sheri and the other charries tbh

[@NerdNation]

they dropped the ball. There was a lot of buildup and the audience knew what was going to happen. The show was supposed to be exploring these horrible tragedies so viewers can get a better understanding. With Clay talking him off the ledge, and Tyler going on the run, it feels like the audience were lied to. Like, all season we were preparing ourselves for what was inevitably coming only for him to back out at the very last second. Not that I'm wanting to see a portrayal of a mass shooting at a high school dance, but where does the show go from here? Are they really going to build an entire season on something that never happened? They could have made season 3 the 13 reasons why Tyler went through with it. They still could I supposed, but it won't have the same impact.

[@KateL98]

I hope that Justin (Bryce) will be in season 3... 'Cause he has an awful character but he's absolutly incredible actor!

[@nikacaitlyn2969]

JUSTIN JUST IS AN ACTOR HE ISNT BRYCE!!! ALL THE PEOPLE ATTACKING HIM ABOUT HIM BEING BRYCE NEED TO GROW UP AND UNDERSTAND JUSTIN ISNT HIS CHARACTER HE IS A KIND PERSON.

[@roua3846]

Me too

[@layaa5262]

Inside he is a good person

[@Thea3lilman]

I think if they wanted to do a season 3 they could of done ended the show off a bit better. Sure a lot of people say they left a lot of unanswered questions but you can tell they left them unanswered so they can try get a season 3. First of all Tyler took waay too long getting to the school. We all knew what was about to happen, so why not just show him loading his guns then show him outside the school. Second why on earth would Clay not want to call the cops when he hears Tylers coming to do something. He had no reason to have to do that. Yea he did save him and in the end but it doesn't make any sense to why he would not want the cops involved. And they could of at least gave us one happy ending somehow. I don't mean changing Bryce's sentencing, cause I think that was needed. I mean like Justin could of put down the needle and became clean, or Tyler could of at least shot Monty.

[@jamaalharris5339]

They loved the actor and character so they came up of a way to keep him on the show... By giving his character a light sentence.

[@laurene111]

Yeah we want a third season specially for Tyler

[@VinnyGuardino]

Idk if I’m just crazy but seeing a different side to Bryce with him actually liking Hannah and being nice and just talking about life and all that made me like him more you could tell he was hurt but obviously sexually assualting Hannah wasn’t the right direction to go but shows something bout his character I hope they show more scenes of him thinking about Hannah

[@vittoriacolona]

I tried watching season 2. It was just cheap shocks.

[@readyplayercarter4139]

I have an idea... 13 SEASONS WHY

[@jackdouglas1989]

You know they’re a good actor when you hate them even when they’re not in character.

[@garyleeheard3434]

I think Chloe should have kept the baby ( A baby girl) and Brice lived for two more seasons the show very well could have lasted 5seasons easily..Brice could have some what changed knowing about Chloe whether they stayed together or not and hearing the tapes , seeing the change in him . But eventually him dying if that was plan to write anyways. Either way.. so many ways they could have went with that story line..

[@FR0STBL0D]

What I liked about 13 Reasons why is, that the show does acknowledge: "hurt people hurt people". While I do like Tyler's story, the story of Bryce seems incomplete. His disgusting actions could easily be rooted in the experience of sexual assault committed by his Mum, when he was a small boy. The "little boy story" was there and could have been used. It would explain his oversexualisation and not understanding that girls didn't want to have sex with him even if they deem him to be nice. Futhermore, many behaviours of Bryce are typical for a person sexually abused at young age. Bryce might have had flashbacks during his trial. Adding sexual child abuse in Bryce's story would have contributed a great deal to illustrate how "hurt people hurt people" works and it would have broken a taboo about a kind of abuse that happens everyday. Even in rich, seemingly perfect WASP-Families. (What also would have been a good complement to Clay's story and make clear: Hurt people are burdened with an enormous responsibility to not reiterate harm. And they sometimes fail.) I absolutely hate that in the series sexual assaulters are men exclusively. In reality this isn't the case and it reinforces gender sterotypes. The gender gap isn't that large in victims (1in5 to 1in6) and it isn't that large in perpetrators, too. So Tyler's rape is both "over the top" and a second missed chance to portrait female abusers. www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2014/04/male_rape_in_america_a_new_study_reveals_that_men_are_sexually_assaulted.html?via=gdpr-consent www.scientificamerican.com/article/sexual-victimization-by-women-is-more-common-than-previously-known/ So ... "Bryce's Season 2 Ending 'Pissed' Him Off".Me too.

[@helpthehippiehottie]

The reason Clay handled it that way is because he didn't want anything bad to happen to Tyler.

[@armoredheart5659]

Maybe in a 3rd season, people can fight to get Bryce to be given justice

[@exhz]

He is so good at acting that I actually hate his character

[@obessbeauty]

It’s hard to separate him from his character

[@KarinMichelle]

SPOILERS......? Might need to mention that before someone watches .

[@Jaydizzeh]

Karin Michelle The title talks about the season finale. Of course there are spoilers.....

[@Jazzobonito]

If you really hate bryce, it only shows how good of a actor he is
