Eriq La Salle is going back to the hospital this fall — as an esteemed colleague of
A Gifted Man.
The
ER vet has booked a multi-episode arc on CBS’ new medical/medium drama as a neuropsychiatrist, per
The Hollywood Reporter. Fun fact: The gig reunites La Salle with
Gifted Man showrunner Neal Baer (
Law & Order: SVU), who was an exec producer on
ER back in the day.
A Gifted Man premieres Friday, Sept. 23, at 8/7c.
