Actor Blair Underwood has joined the cast of the second season of the series Quantico, launched last September across the Atlantic on ABC.
Quantico was one of the big surprises of last fall! The series created by Joshua Safran and Mark Gordon surprised many by achieving excellent ratings on ABC. It is not surprising to have seen the channel order the second season that will land on September 25. This second season which should still offer us many twists and turns as was the case during the first season is already beginning to be revealed. Especially on the casting side, because ABC has just announced the arrival of a new actor.
The latter is named Blair Underwood who many know for his character in Dirty Sexy Money (ABC), but also in Agents of S.H.I.EL.D aired again on ABC. Definitely, the actor has the coast on this channel! In season 2 of Quantico, Blair Underwood will slip into the skin of a charming and intelligent CIA officer named Owen Hall.
In a statement released moments after this announcement, Joshua Safran, one of the creators of Quantico was enthusiastic about the arrival of Blair Underwood in these terms: "Blair Underwood is the kind of actors with whom we dream of collaborating. His charisma and charm will be of great use to us in the series." For those who have seen the actor at work in Dirty Sexy Money (recently broadcast in France on HD1), Joshua Safran's words make a lot of sense.
As a reminder, the French group M6 recently announced the acquisition of the broadcasting rights of Quantico whose first episodes will be broadcast from July 12.
