According to The Hollywood Reporter, Andre will play Michael Lacroix, an architect married to returning cast member Regina King (Terri). The wealthy couple’s son gets caught up in a scandal at his private school.
“Personally, I couldn’t be more excited than to work again with Andre,” said American Crime creator John Ridley. “He is an amazing individual, a true artist, and All Is By My Side is one of the reasons I was given the reins on American Crime.”
Ridley and Benjamin previously worked together on the Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is By My Side. This will be Andre’s debut as a television regular.
American Crime is also set to feature Felicity Huffman, Timothy Hutton, Richard Cabral, Elvis Nolasco, Lili Taylor, Angelique Rivera, Connor Jessup and Joey Pollari.
