Chella Man has been cast as Jericho in DC Universe's Titans season two. Man, a recently trans male, describes himself as a "deaf, genderqueer, artist," and is a successful YouTuber, model, and transgender advocate. The part of Jericho will be Man's first major Man role, which will make excellent use of his ability to use American Sign Language as this was a vital part of Jericho's earliest appearances.

Titans' producers describe the part of Jericho as follows.
As a young boy, Max (Joseph) was a kind-hearted soul who never measured up to the expectations of his domineering military father. Bullied by his peers, he retreated even further inward...He’s a misfit who’s always longed for acceptance and love, but never found it, always suffering betrayal by those he dared to believe in most. As a result, he’s grown into a young man who now longs to inflict pain on all those who have caused him pain...
Congratulations to Chella Man. Go get it done, young man!
