PUBLISHED OCT 12, 2018

Curtiss Cook's character Radd has a lot to offer in Jeff Rake's show 'Manifest'. As much as his character stands apart from the rest on the grounds of his virtuosness and lifestyle, he also holds a pivotal place in defining the time gap on the show. Curtiss is also starring in FX's highly acclaimed show 'Mayans M.C' and in the upcoming second season of Showtime's 'The Chi'. With these three roles, Curtiss has emerged as one of Hollywood's most prolific actors this Fall TV season.

NBC's 'Manifest' is a sci-fi drama about a routine flight from Jamaica to NYC, which turns mysterious when passengers discover that five years have passed when they make their landing. Curtiss stars as flight passenger Radd, a leading violinist from the Jamaican Philharmonic who must deal with the consequences of being absent for the lost years, including being re-introduced to his son (played by his real-life son Curtiss Cook Jr.).
