The young actor Curran Walters has the fortune of playing the first live-action version of Jason Todd, beginning in "Titans" Season 1 and continuing through Season 3. He got his start as a model and has been acting on screen since 2014, according to IMDB. Before "Titans," he had recurring roles on "Game of Silence" and "Too Close to Home," as well as a two-part episode of "Girl Meets World."
In an interview with Schön!, Walters said he watched "Under the Red Hood" and read every Jason Todd comic he could get his hands on in order to prepare for the role. "At first, I felt very pressured especially since the character had never been played in live-action before, but as time went on I became more confident," he said. "I figured that I am going to do my best at portraying the iconic version of Jason Todd but also giving the character my own twist."
On "Titans," he's a key part of the story in relation to Dick's lingering resentment toward Batman. Jason's character is treated just as darkly — he's a kid with expert martial arts training who thinks he can do anything and get away with it. However, big things are coming for Jason Todd, but at least he's getting more love on "Titans" than during his early years.
