Aya Cash wants to set the record straight when it comes to that rumor about her Giant rehearsals.
“Let’s debunk this,” Cash, 43, told Us Weekly exclusively while walking the 2026 Tony Awards red carpet on Sunday, June 7. “I did the play in London. I had seven days of rehearsal for the play in London, and then I did a whole run.”
Cash took on the role of Jessie Stone at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London last year. Following her run, the actress went to film the Prime Video series Vought Rising. She returned to her character Jessie Stone on Broadway this past March.
“My schedule would only allow me three days to come back to the Broadway show,” she clarified to Us. “I only got three days for Broadway, but I did do the play in London. So I just want to be totally clear about that.”
Cash joked that she “missed the [Vought Rising] wrap party to do my three days of rehearsal.”
Cash was nominated on Sunday in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play category for her role in Giant. She was up against Betsy Aidem for Liberation, Marylouise Burke for The Balusters, June Squibb for Marjorie Prime and Laurie Metcalf, who won the Tony Award for her role in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman.
Cash is set to reprise her The Boys role as Clara Vought/Liberty/Stormfront in the upcoming Vought Rising spinoff series, set to premiere next year. While Us wanted Cash to share “all the spoilers,” she couldn’t reveal too much.
“I can tell you that this cast is bonkers good. The scripts were incredible, and the action is big, and that feels very exciting,” she said. “It was a really special experience.”
The prequel series is set in the 1950s, so The Boys fans will get to see “a totally new” side of her character.
“[It was] a little scary to be honest because, obviously, the spinoff when it was first proposed — which was many, many years ago — they responded to Stormfront,” Cash explained. “Coming in, I was like, she’s got to be played pretty differently, because she’s just Clara at this moment.”
The Boys fans will see her as “a nice little Nazi wife,” which is not how fans know her.
“That’s a very different person than who Stormfront ends up being,” she added. “I think it’s fun to see her journey into that.”
The Boys final season, which wrapped up last month, hinted at a relationship between Cash’s character and Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy.
“I will say that working with Jensen was a total dream,” she said. “He has a massive fanbase that goes so hard for him. Sometimes, you meet those people and you’re like, ‘If only they knew.’ I’m gonna tell you right now, Jensen’s safe.”
She added, “He’s a really wonderful human. So that was just the best part. He’s a great dude, and we had a great time working together.”
