Known mostly for his comedy, and improv skills, but in ABC Emergence, he gets to stretch is acting chops a bit and I was surprised to hear that he’d been turning down scripts in order to do a show like this.

Donald Faison and Allison Tillman star ins ABC’s Emergence

Emergence stars Allison Tillman as Jo, a police chief who takes in a young child she finds near the site of a mysterious accident. The girl has no memory of what has happened or who she is. Jo takes her in while she investigates and it’s soon revealed that not only is someone after the child, but the girl has powers.

Donald plays Jo’s ex-husband Alex, who co-parents their daughter Bree, he has more than a few feelings about all of this. During this interview, Donald reveals what attracted him to Emergence and why The Mandalorian is everything.
