My character, Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes, is a prospect in the Mayans M.C., but he also just came out of prison. I wanted to tell
the story of the
guy who goes
into prison for
survival and the
animal that it
creates, not only psychologically
but physically. And
so it made sense to put
on some mass. I started at 149 pounds in October. Ten months later I was 186.
