BORIS KODJOE JOINS MEDICAL DRAMA "CODE BLACK" IN A RECURRING ROLE

THIS JUST IN...

...From CBS Entertainment

Boris Kodjoe has joined the CBS medical drama CODE BLACK in a recurring role. Beginning Wednesday, Feb. 3, Kodjoe will portray Dr. Will Campbell, a suave surgeon whose surgical skills and personal charm are only outweighed by his ego. As Dr. Campbell works more closely with the doctors in the ER, tension builds between him and Dr. Neal Hudson (Raza Jaffrey), as they compete to prove who is the better surgeon.

"We couldn't be more excited to have Boris Kodjoe join the CODE BLACK family," said Executive Producer Michael Seitzman. "He comes in as Dr. Will Campbell, a well-respected surgeon with an arrogant edge. He's a character viewers will love, but also love to hate."

Kodjoe is best known for his role in the television series Soul Food. The show earned him three NAACP Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor. His other television credits include the series Second Time Around, Last Man on Earth, Undercovers, For Your Love, Franklin & Bash, Nip/Tuck, Crossing Jordan, Eve and Boston Public. Currently, he can be seen in The Real Husbands of Hollywood, which has earned him two NAACP Image Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. Last summer, Kodjoe and his wife, actress Nicole Ari Parker, took on a new role as daytime talk show hosts in The Boris & Nicole Show. It had a four-week run in more than 20 markets, including New York and Los Angeles. The show had the couple's take on everything from current events to parenting and relationships, as well as feature celebrity interviews. His film credits include Resident Evil: Retribution, Resident Evil: Afterlife, Baggage Claim, Love and Basketball, Brown Sugar, Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion, The Gospel and Surrogates. Kodjoe made his debut on Broadway in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and previously toured the country in the play Whatever She Wants.

CODE BLACK stars Marcia Gay Harden, Bonnie Somerville, Raza Jaffrey, Luis Guzmán, Melanie Chandra, Harry Ford, Benjamin Hollingsworth and William Allen Young. Michael Seitzman, David Marshall Grant, Brett Mahoney, Molly Newman, Ryan McGarry, Marti Noxon and Linda Goldstein Knowlton are executive producers for ABC Television Studios in association with CBS Television Studios.

My mom watches this show, but I've only seen it a few times. I saw the series premiere, so I know most of the main characters, even if I haven't followed along with the whole season. Anyway, I watched the season finale with her tonight - it was pretty jam-packed, and quite sad at times too! :(

The relationship between Jesse and Dr Rorish is my favorite part, gotta love Mama and Daddy. ;) I also like seeing Angus's relationship with his brother, and Mario's concern for Angus was good too. I didn't think I'd like Mario at all, when I watched the series premiere, but I do like how his friendship with Angus has developed. (I don't watch the show regularly, so I don't know much about Mario individually to say whether or not I like him now, oops!) Christa and Neal - yikes! :eek: I can't say I blame Christa for the choice she made, although I like Grace well enough.

Some of the ongoing storylines seemed interesting - they resolved some, but there are enough threads to keep going if the show gets a second season. My mom certainly hopes CBS renews it! ;)
 
I hope they bring it back too. At first I had a hard time with the show because the actors where talking
so fast, and to much medical jargin. Glad that the producers and directors caught on to that because
after the 3rd episode; the show got better.
 
I guess the new episode of Rush Hour has been postponed, because a rerun of Code Black is airing TONIGHT, Thursday, May 26th, starting at 10pm ET/9pm CT. Info for the episode is here. (Original Air Date: 10/28/15)
 
Rush Hour has been dropped from the schedule again, so another episode of Code Black will air TONIGHT, Thursday, June 2nd, starting at 10pm ET/9pm CT. Info for the episode is here. (Original Air Date: 11/04/15)
 
It's actually in the listings this time, so another episode will air TONIGHT, Thursday, June 9th, starting at 10pm ET/9pm CT. Info for the episode is here. (Original Air Date: 11/11/15)
 
Episode airing TONIGHT, Thursday, June 16th, starting at 10pm ET/9pm CT. Info for the episode is here. (Original Air Date: 11/18/15)
 
Episode airing TONIGHT, Thursday, June 23rd, starting at 10pm ET/9pm CT. Info for the episode is here. (Original Air Date: 12/09/15)
