“They Wanted Him DEAD!” – Jason Vendryes Reveals the Truth Behind Kenneth’s Brutal Exit from Beyond the Gates
In a stunning turn of events, Beyond the Gates fans were left speechless when Kenneth was declared dead in Episode 91 — but now, the actor behind the controversial character is finally breaking his silence.
Jason Vendryes, who brought the aggressive and disfigured Kenny to life, revealed in an exclusive that the show always had one mission with his character: to be eliminated.
“They wanted him dead,” he said. “And they got it.”
The revelation came after a chilling scene where Bill Hamilton interrupted Martin’s press conference to show a gruesome photo of Kenneth’s lifeless body — leaving Martin (and viewers) shaken to the core.
But the real twist came in the flashbacks: Kenneth wasn’t just a threat — he was the reason Martin ended up killing a man. And that story, long buried in secrets and racial tension, came roaring to the surface.
Apparently, Vendryes had no idea how dark the storyline would go. “Even after I was cast, I was told nothing. It was all hush-hush.” He admits he would’ve loved to dive deeper into Kenny’s psyche, but his job was to push Martin to his limits — and reveal the monster within.
“Kenny wasn’t the nicest guy. But his presence? It mattered.”
With rumors swirling that Kenneth might return in flashbacks or hallucinations, Vendryes remained clear: “Unless they recycle footage, Kenneth is gone. For good.”
It remains to be seen how viewers will respond to the brutal honesty behind Kenny’s death — but one thing’s for sure: Beyond the Gates just buried one of its most complex villains… and opened a whole new door of secrets.
