In the resident, you would think that they would add a Hispanic into their cast since they never ha one
Funny, never seen this sentiment when a white actor got cast.
Jessica Lucas was awesome on Gotham – a great show I miss, by the way. Looking forward to her joining The Resident. Hopefully she’ll improve the show.
She looks familiar, but I don’t remember who she was in Gotham
She played Tabitha.
Great casting, she’s a gem.
