The barely-teenaged, Glock-slinging, tattooed drug dealer is played by Georgia-native Javon “Wanna” Walton.
One’s thing for sure Walton had people talking about his acting chops.
“Javon Walton’s work as Ashtray is fantastic,” a fantweetedafter the dramatic episode.
“He was the highlight of the finale for me.
A child always in fight mode and had to be scared to death during those last moments.”
He’d do so with a focus in men’s boxing and gymnastics, perPopSugar.
Walton became interested in boxing at an early age (viaMen’s Health).
At just 8 years old, he was a Junior Olympics contender in the sport.
By 11, he was already a state champion in boxing and gymnastics.
To achieve such accolades at a young age, Walton’s day-to-day life is heavily focused on training.
“After that I’ll go to T and T, which is trampoline and tumbling.
At night, more boxing or I’ll do gymnastics.”
He clearly was unstoppable even as a toddler.
The name stuck, and the rest is history.
The move received a standing ovation.
“Let me tell you something; he nice,” Harvey said, seemingly taken aback.
“If you 11, and you got that balance, them hands, that quickness, at 11?
Now, it’s hard to imagine anyone else playing the role of Ashtray.
The premiere gave viewers a glimpse into Ashtray’s past.
The episode centers around Fezco (Angus Cloud) and his drug-dealing grandmother Marie (Kathrine Narducci).
It revealed how she acts as his caretaker and trained him to become her business partner (viaDecider).
In the process, she teaches him everything he knows about the ins and outs of the business.
One day, a customer leaves her infant for Marie to babysit and never returns.
From that moment on, Marie and Fez treat the boy as the “unofficially adopted brother.”
We sent it to Sam [Levinson], and he ended up loving Daelo for that part.”
After “Euphoria” debuted, he started to get on the map in the entertainment industry.
In 2020, Walton was cast in the Amazon Prime Video thriller “Utopia.”
He plays Grant, a street-smart and lovable kid navigating a science-fiction reality.
People will think I’m going to be part of the other academy and all this other stuff.
But it’s something that people aren’t really expecting."
“It’s special how they also show that family comes before anything.
And that’s what I believe too; I [put] family first.”
It may come as a surprise to some that Javon has a twin brother named Jaden Walton.
Spoiler alert: They look completely alike.
In fact, the whole family seems to lead an active, competitive lifestyle.
The oldest sibling and only girl in the Walton family Jayla Walton also resembles her little brothers.
Aside from being an athlete, herInstagrambio says she is a model and actor.
