Rob Lowe Joins ‘Code Black’ as Series Regular After ‘The Grinder’ Cancellation
“The Grinder” may have been canceled after a well-received (if sparsely watched) first season, but you can’t keep Sam Seaborn down for long. Rob Lowe has just been announced as having joined season two of “Code Black,” the hospital drama undergoing significant changes for its sophomore run.
Lowe will play series regular Col. Ethan Willis, a military doctor who relocates from a combat hospital in Afghanistan to join Angels Memorial and share his knowledge with the civvies. He’s joined by fellow newcomers Noah Gray-Cabey, Emily Tyra and Nafessa Williams; season-one regulars Bonnie Somerville and Raza Jaffrey, meanwhile, will not be returning to the CBS drama.
