QUEENS (ABC) - José Moreno Brooks and Gaius Charles will both drop by the newcomer. The latter will play Thomas, "a recording/sound engineer who's smart and charming.

Freeman then is Lewis, "Jax's husband, the father of their two children, a successful video game designer and a genuinely good guy." And Grovey is Krystal, "Jax's assistant at the law firm; very smart, savvy, opinionated, sharp as a tack, Krystal says what she thinks, which can be brutal at times." (Variety.com)

(Variety.com)
