Mateus Ward - P 2015
Courtesy of TNTTNT’s Murder in the First continues to add to its season two cast.
The cop drama starring Taye Diggs and Kathleen Robertson has enlisted Hostages alum Mateus Ward as a new series regular, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Ward will play Dustin Maker, a blue-collar kid who has never had it easy in life. At first glance, he’s a quiet, unassuming kid next door — but a closer look reveals a flicker in his eye that is magnetic and unpredictable. He’s out to make a name for himself — but it’s unclear if he can stay alive in the process.
