It's incredibly wholesome to watch Shyamalan not only center the premise of Trap around his daughter Saleka Shyamalan's character Lady Raven, but go so far as to play her doting uncle in the film itself. Shyamalan's character plays a pivotal role in Trap, affording Cooper (Josh Hartnett) and his daughter the chance to go onstage during Lady Raven's concert and thus offering him a small window to escape. What can you say: He's a sucker for a sob story.
This is a particularly fun one. Shyamalan's character Jai starts out as an anonymous drug dealer in the first movie, then gradually moves up in the world as the series progresses. While it's hard to imagine this as intentional, it seems particularly fitting that the series that helped put Shyamalan back in Hollywood's good graces includes the director playing a formerly down-on-his-luck character that straightens things out in the end.
