‘Abbott Elementary’ Star Tyler James Williams on the ‘Unhinged’ Impersonations in the Season 4 Finale and Why It Was Difficult to Spoof Janine
Tyler James Williams dishes on why impersonating Janine was "difficult" during the "Abbott Elementary" Season 4 finale.
While “Abbott Elementary’s” Janine (show creator and star Quinta Brunson) and Gregory ( Tyler James Williams) are going strong in their relationship, that doesn’t mean that impersonating each other in one humorous sequence during the Season 4 finale came easily for the actors who play them. When Brunson told the cast about the premise, Chris Perfetti immediately thought, “Please don’t let it be Barbara,” hoping he wouldn’t have to mimic Sheryl Lee Ralph’s bible-quoting kindergarten teacher. Season 4 was a whirlwind for Janelle James’ Ava, ranging from getting fired as principal (then reinstated) to slowly falling for the school district’s IT tech O’Shon (Matthew Law) — and the character’s growth continues in the finale.
