He has a wide variety of experience on the small screen, with roles on shows ranging from Prison Break to Friday Night Lights to Hart of Dixie, and he has appeared a handful of times on CBS’ Code Black over the past couple of years .
At least we can be sure that Cress Williams will almost certainly prove to be a solid leading man for Black Lightning.
He should have what it takes to bring a brand new kind of superhero to The CW, and I’m looking forward to see what he does with the character of Jefferson Pierce.
