The 37-year-old actor has been voicing the franchise’s protagonist, oddball viking Hiccup, since the first How to Train Your Dragon film was released in 2010.
Now, almost a decade later, the trilogy has come to an end. The final installment, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is available now on DVD, Blu-ray, and on digital platforms everywhere.
According to How to Train Your Dragon writer and director Dean DeBlois, Jay has been impacting his character and the franchise as a whole behind-the-scenes since the beginning.
Jay, who hails from Ontario, Canada, told us about one big way he left a personal mark on the series by improvising lines in the studio.
“Just the fact that I’ve been able to call Toothless ‘Bud’ through three movies and the series,” he explained. “It’s like the most Hoser way to relate to one. So, you know, I don’t know if someone else was Hiccup, that Toothless would be nicknamed ‘Bud.’ That’s something I’m proud of, because that is a very Canadian term of endearment.”
The third and final chapter in the How to Train Your Dragon story, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is out now on DVD, Blu-ray, and on digital platforms.
The final movie in the series reveals the end of Hiccup’s story with his faithful dragon, Toothless, as well as the fate of the vikings of Berk.

Dreamworks Animation just released a huge amount of new pics from the film, plus new details about the five new dragons you’ll see on screen in the final movie of the franchise.
One of the new dragons in the flick is a Hobgobbler.
The pint-sized dragon is described as “French bulldog dragon” all because director Dean DeBlois has three Frenchies himself.
Simon Otto, the head of character animation, added to EW that it’s a “mix between a Frenchie bulldog and a rainforest frog… and also a beachball.â€
