The show follows the life of former CIA operative Robyn who may look like a typical single mother raising her daughter, Delilah, and living with her aunt, Viola, but in reality she is an anonymous guardian angel working to defend those who have nowhere else to turn.

Few details have been released about Logue's character but, as he joins the cast of the show, Newsweek has everything you need to know about the latest addition to The Equalizer, and who he is playing.
