  • He will play Sheriff Barnum, an institution in Twelve Sleep County who's learned that enforcing the law is not so black and white in this place and clashes with the Warden's (Dorman) involvement in his murder case and doesn't take kindly to the implication that he isn't doing his job.

When Angela (DaCosta) confronts Leah (Luckett) at her stuffy fundraiser, Tyrique rallies to help her and her Aunt Piggy save face.
