Actor Shea Whigham couldn’t be more proud of the work he did on his latest project, Amazon Prime’s ‘Homecoming’.  The new series follows a caseworker named Heidi (played by Julia Roberts) who works at a facility called Homecoming, which helps soldiers transition back to civilian life.  Years later after she has started a new life, the department of defense comes knocking, questioning her as to why she left Homecoming and what really happened behind closed doors. Whigham plays the instrumental role of Thomas Carrasco, a bureaucrat from the Department of Defense who is investigating both Heidi and the Homecoming facility.
