Casting News - February 16, 2017

CBS' Salvation; Showtime's The Chi and TNT's Good Behavior.






TNT's GOOD BEHAVIOR
  • After recurring in the first season, Joey Kern has been promoted to series regular for the drama's upcoming second season. He plays Rob, a relatively simple guy who owns a lawn care business called Rob's Grasshoppers. He was classmates with Letty (Michelle Dockery), but now is dating her mother Estelle (Lusia Strus) and the two are headed to the altar.
SHOWTIME's THE CHI
  • Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine (Queen of Katwe) has been cast as a series regular on the upcoming drama created by Lena Waithe. He will play Ronnie, a former military man somewhat surrendered to the challenges of life on the South Side. He spends most of his day on a neighborhood stoop with friends who are in the same boat. He spends the other part of his day caring for his feisty grandmother. When his former girlfriend (and mother to a boy he considers his son) puts pressure on him to avenge a murder, Ronnie reluctantly is set on a misguided path in an effort to win her back.
CBS' SALVATION
  • Santiago Cabrera (Heroes, The Musketeers) has joined the cast of the upcoming drama created by Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro. He will play Darius Tanz, a tech billionaire who teams with an MIT grad student (Charlie Rowe) and low-level Pentagon official (Jennifer Finnigan) on a secret project to save the planet from an asteroid that is just six months away from collision.
