Esai Morales Is Coming to ‘Jericho’
Former NYPD Blue Regular Bags Another Authoritative Role
The latest casting news out of CBS indicates that Esai Morales is slated to appear regularly in the foreshortened second season of Jericho. Fans know Morales as put-upon Lieutenant Tony Rodriguez, a character he played for four seasons on NYPD Blue, as well as FBI Agent Michael Tyner of the ill-fated Fox kidnapping drama Vanished from last year.
When Jericho returns with its eagerly awaited seven-episode run, Morales will grace the screen in six of the installments. His character is one Colonel Hoffman, an Iraq War veteran who shares a common trait with many Americans following the nuclear detonations that started “it” all—a missing relative, his wife, whom he has been unable to locate.
This profile and this actor both sound good to me, so, “Nice!”
