Damon Wayans is set to make a guest appearance in the upcoming third season premiere of the NBC mockumentary “St. Denis Medical,” marking a reunion with his former “In Living Color” castmate David Alan Grier.
Wayans will portray Dr. Highland, described as an affable yet self-important physician who arrives at the hospital while Grier’s character Ron recuperates from surgery. The character is noted for charming both patients and staff members, with the exception of Tolman’s character Alex. The episode will premiere on Nov. 2.
The series follows the operations of an under-resourced, understaffed hospital in Oregon, where medical professionals navigate the demands of patient care while dealing with workplace pressures. The ensemble cast includes Allison Tolman, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Josh Lawson, Kahyun Kim, Mekki Leeper and Kaliko Kauahi. The show was created by Justin Spitzer and Eric Ledgin, with Ledgin serving as showrunner. Production involves More Bees, Inc. and Spitzer Holding Company, with Universal Television as the studio.
Grier appeared throughout all five seasons of “In Living Color” during its original run on Fox, while Wayans was part of the cast for the first three seasons and made appearances in the fourth. Wayans’ recent television work includes starring roles in the ABC series “My Wife and Kids” and the Fox series “Lethal Weapon.”
