FOX's 9-1-1: LONE STAR
  • Jackson Pace has been promoted to series regular on the drama's upcoming fifth season. He joined the drama as a recurring guest star starting with the third season - appearing in nine episodes to date. He previously starred for three seasons in Showtime's Homeland and recurred on AMC's The Walking Dead.
  • He plays Wyatt, Judd's (Jim Parrack) son. An accident left him partially paralyzed and unable to become a firefighter - prompting Judd to quit his job at the 126 to provide homecare for him. In the new season, Wyatt must forge a new path in the world post-accident which will lead him to be connected to the 126.
NETFLIX's MAN ON FIRE
  • Bobby Cannavale will appear as a guest star on the upcoming drama starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. He has received four Emmy Award nominations - winning in 2005 for his guest role on NBC's Will & Grace and in 2013 for his supporting performance on HBO's Boardwalk Empire. He also starred in the third season of USA's Mr. Robot, in the first season of Amazon's Homecoming, in the first season of Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers and in the first season of Netflix's The Watcher.
  • He will play Paul Rayburn, an ex-Special Forces soldier who possesses a unique ability to read people. He is charming, nurturing, and protective of those he cares for. Despite his warm, fatherly nature, his years of service in the field have given him an acute awareness of violence and human behavior. Quick-witted and incredibly intellectual, he is likely to have all the answers, and if not, he will find them.
