The actor joins a previously-announced ensemble of Stephen Amell, Brooks Nader, Hassie Harrison, Shay Mitchell, Jessica Belkin, Thaddeus LaGrone, Livvy Dunne and Noah Beck.
Gray will next be seen in a supporting lead role in the indie “Paradise Disturbed,” opposite Holt McCallany (“The Iron Claw”). Previous roles include the CBS-OWN series “All Rise,” opposite Wilson Bethel. Additional credits include a supporting role in the top-rated Netflix film “Bright,” starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton, and a recurring part on NBC’s “Days of our Lives.”
