Veteran actors Keith David and Dorian Missick will be returning to the TV world as NBC airs a special 2-Hour series premiere of their new anticipated television drama series 'The Cape' on Sunday, January 9.
'The Cape' is a throwback to old heroes with a 21st century sensibility one-hour drama series starring David Lyons as Vince Faraday, an honest cop on a corrupt police force, who finds himself framed for a series of murders and presumed dead. He is forced into hiding, leaving behind his wife Dana and son, Trip. Fueled by a desire to reunite with his family and to battle criminal forces, Vince Faraday becomes 'The Cape' - his son's favorite comic book superhero - and takes the law into his own hand.
Keith stars as Max Milani, the ringleader of a circus gang of bank robbers who mentors Vince Faraday and trains him to be The Cape. As Max Malini, Keith is trying to hold together his team of bank robbers that don't believe in Vince, 'The Cape.'
Having appeared on numerous films and television series, including Paul Haggis' Academy Award-winning 'Crash,' the comedy film 'There's Something About Mary,' Disney's 'The Princess and the Frog,' NBC's 'ER' and 'Law and Order,' David is always excited to work on a new program.
"It's been an honor to work with such a talented cast and crew. We have all put our expertise together to bring this great cinematic tale to life, and I'm ready for the ride," states the New York native.
Missick will play a former police detective and friend of Faraday, who betrays him, setting into motion the main plotline of the show - that a cop is disgraced and puts on a costume to have a "secret identity" and get to the bottom of what happened.
Last seen on the big screen opposite Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston in 'The Bounty Hunter,' Missick's television credits include the series 'Six Degrees,' 'Sons of Anarchy,' and 'Raising the Bar.' He will next be seen in the independent film 'Mooz-lum,' opposite Evan Ross and Nia Long.
