According to The Hollywood Reporter, THIS IS US has casted Mudbound actor Rob Morgan in a recurring role in the upcoming third season.
He will play "Solomon Brown, a longtime city councilman and fixture in Philadelphia who oversees the very district where William (Emmy nominee Ron Cephas Jones) lived pre-Randall (Sterling K. Brown). The character is described as smart and charming, a family man and regular church-goer. He knows how to play the game and do what it takes to succeed."
Showrunner Dan Fogelman tells The Hollywood Reporter, "Someone starts entering the world of local politics. It's nothing big and national - nothing Republican vs. Democrat or left vs. right - but we're going to dive into some community hot political waters with a surprising character."
Season three of THIS IS US premieres Tuesday, September 25th at 9PM on NBC.Read the full story on The Hollywood Reporter
