Actor Johnoy “TV Boss” Williams is relishing in his star role in the official music video for Valiant and Shaneil Muir’s Paradox Pt. 2.

The visuals were released on September 12 and have already gained over 1.2 million streams on popular streaming platform YouTube.

In the video, TV Boss plays the role of Muir’s brother, who encourages her to leave her partner (Valiant) after continuous disappointments.

“My performance was 10 out of 10. I always put my best foot forward in whatever I do, and that’s the reason why I keep getting called for work,” TV Boss told the Jamaica Observer.

The Portland-born actor, who is now based in the United States, got into acting while a student at Buff Bay High School in Portland. Once he decided to make it a career as TV Boss, he enrolled in the School of Drama at Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts.

He has appeared in other projects such as Sting and Shaggy’s Til A Mawnin directed by Jay Will.

Other big projects have included Rock Stone by Stephen Marley, Stay Suh by Busy Signal, and Alkaline’s Juggernaught.

TV Boss also became a regular on The Ity and Fancy Cat Show, which aired on Television Jamaica, as well as Nick Cannon’s King of Dancehall.

He explained that acting is second nature for him.

“It is a natural thing for me to get into character because it sells me. I always include humour and wit to connect with my audience,” the actor said.

He added: “I’ve grown a lot. I’ve transitioned from Jamaica to the US, but the work speaks for itself. America is big, but the work that I have put in Jamaica has helped to shape my career,” he said. “Being in America is a big ball field that affords many opportunities, bigger reception.”

TV Boss told the Observer he is eyeing the business and production side of the film industry for expansion.
