Danny Pino is among the accused…
The 50-year-old Cuban American actor will star in FOX‘s anthology crime series Accused for Season 2.
Pino is among a roster of new cast additions that includes Taylor Schilling and Justin Chambers.
New episodes will drop this fall.
They join the previously announced actors Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Nick Cannon and Michael Chiklis.
The project reunites Pino and Chiklis who most recently co-starred in the MGM+ series Hotel Cocaine.
From FOX Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television, Accused is a collection of intense, topical human stories of crime and punishment. Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, each episode is a fast-paced provocative thriller, exploring a different crime, in a different city with an entirely original cast.
The series is based on the BBC BAFTA Award-winning crime anthology of the same name created by Jimmy McGovern.
Schilling, Chambers and Pino will star in “April’s Story” where a nurse commits a crime that changes the trajectory of her life. Schilling will play ‘April,’ Chambers will play ‘Tyler’ and Pino will play ‘Jake.’
Accused is developed for American television by Howard Gordon, who executive produces with Alex Gansa, David Shore, Erin Gunn and Daniel Pearle.
Pino currently stars as the general manager of the Mutiny Hotel and Club, Roman Compte, in the MGM+ series, Hotel Cocaine.
Before that, he completed his run in the fifth and final season of FX’s Mayans M.C., where he starred as “Miguel Galindo” and directed two episodes.
Additionally, he played opposite Amy Adams in Stephen Chbosky’s film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen and portrayed NYPD detective Nick Amaro in four seasons of Law & Order: SVU.
Pino also recently completed the short film, Unión De Reyes, which he wrote, directed, produced and starred in.
