Photo Flash: First Look - Tony Winner Michael Aronov on THE BLACKLIST

Tony Award winner Michael Aronov guest stars on the next episode of NBC's THE BLACKLIST titled 'Miss Rebeccca Thrall.' The talented actor, who won this year's Tony Award for OSLO as Featured Actor in a Play, first appeared in the season 5 premiere as "Smokey Putnam," and he returns in the season's third episode airing Wednesday, October 11th at 8pm on NBC.

Smokey is an expert in the art and science of logistics who once managed the travel arrangements of a circus - and has now been enlisted by Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader), along with criminal accountant Heddie Hawkins (Aida Turturro), to help him rebuild his decimated criminal empire.

As you can see in the photos, Smokey is working on something special for Red involving elephants! Tune in to see what he could possibly be up to!

In addition to OSLO, Michael Aronov has appeared on Broadway in the 2012 revival of GOLDEN BOY. His TV credits include guest star appearances on CBS' MADAM SECRETARY and FX's THE AMERICANS. He will next be seen on the big screen in the upcoming film OPERATION FINALE.
