We didn’t have to wait long to learn who Lauren London would be partnered up with on the next season of “The Game.” After finding out that she’s the new Melanie so to speak, taking on the role of childhood actress turned career woman, Kiera, her onscreen boo has been revealed in the person of actor Jay Ellis.

Playing Bryce ‘The Blueprint’ Westbook, whose name may have been shortened to just “Blue,” Jay will play:

a running back and the No.1 draft pick from an Ivy League school who is highly educated and often the smartest person in the room. But even though he is bright, he is still a young man who has a lot to learn about life, love and himself.”

Jay is pretty unknown on the small screen although he has had parts in “Greys Anatomy,” “Hart of Dixie,” “NCIS,” and “The Bold and the Beautiful.” From the looks of this photo, Pooch will have a little eye candy competition if he does make his way back to the show.

What do you think about his replacement?
