Marvel And Freeform's CLOAK AND DAGGER TV Series Adds Six Supporting Cast Members
Following the announcement that Aubrey Joseph and Olivia Holt would be playing Cloak and Dagger (respectively) in the Freeform TV series, we now know six supporting cast members that'll be joining them.
Six new series regulars have been announced for Marvel and Freeform's live-action adaptation of the Cloak & Dagger comic book.
After a different pair of actors were initially rumored, a couple of weeks ago we found out that the heroes of light and darkness would actually be played by Aubrey Joseph and Olivia Holt, and now we have details on who'll be playing their parents as well as several other supporting characters.
Here are the breakdowns via TV Insider:
Andrea Roth (Rescue Me, Blue Bloods) as Melissa Bowen, Tandy's mom.
Gloria Reuben (ER, Mr. Robot) as Adina Johnson, Tyrone's mother.
Miles Mussenden (Bloodline, Queen Sugar) as Tyrone's father, Michael Johnson.
Carl Lundstedt (Grey's Anatomy, Conviction) as Liam, a townie who operates as Tandy's partner in crime while moonlighting as her boyfriend.
James Saito (Life of Pi) as Dr. Bernard Sanjo, an emotional cornerstone in Tyrone's life.
J.D. Evermore (True Detective, The Walking Dead) as Detective Connors, described as "a contradiction of a man embracing an intimidating persona that overcompensates for a secret he keeps close to the vest."
“We’re thrilled to fill out the rest of the talented cast on Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger and join with Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph to make a show that fans, new and old, will enjoy,” said Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel Television and executive producer. "We are incredibly excited to be underway on our first Marvel project with such a talented group of actors that really enhance the world that our Cloak & Dagger live in," added Karey Burke, executive vice president, Programming & Development, Freeform.
Marvel's Cloak & Dagger is set to commence production soon and is slated to debut on Freeform in 2018.
