“ | No, just stop trying to be the black Superman. Just because you left me behind doesn't mean you need to save me. | ” |
Jacob "Jake" Taylor is a main character on the Showtime coming-of-age original series The Chi. He is portrayed by Michael Epps.
Jake is Kevin and Papa's good friend though the trio have been known to bump heads occasionally, often due to the fact that Jake's older brother, Reg, was a leader of the 63rd Street Mob. Following Reg's death, Jake reconnected with his other brother, Trig.
Biography
Early Life
Jake grew up on the south side of Chicago on 63rd and Yates with his older brother, Reg. With his mother being a local junkie and their father incarcerated at Statesville, Jake remembers little of either.[1]
In 2013, when Jake was eight years old, Trig was arrested and that would be the last time Jake saw him.
