Aside from fans showing interest in his personal life, Gray is currently busy with his recent project, a comedy series called "I'm a Virgo," which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on June 23, 2023.
It is a coming-of-age series about Cootie (Jharrel Jerome), a 13-foot-tall young Black man in Oakland, California. After growing up in seclusion with his relatives, he is ready to experience the real world.
Gray plays Felix in the show alongside Scat, played by Allius Barnes. When asked during a joint interview what drew them to the show's script, Gray said the project description from the email he received was all it took for him to agree to be a part of the show.
However, getting to read the script was refreshing for him. Barnes agreed, saying that although he expected it to be predictable regarding stereotypes, such as one character being in a gang, that was not the case.
