Exclusive: Tory Kittles talks The Equalizer Season 4 and his character Detective Marcus Dante
Premiering tonight on CBS is the fourth season of The Equalizer, starring Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall along with Lorraine Toussaint, Tory Kittles, Adam Goldberg, Liza Lapira and Laya DeLeon Hayes
THE EQUALIZER is a reimagining of the classic series starring Academy Award® nominee and multi-hyphenate Queen Latifah (“Chicago,” “Bessie”) as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn. McCall presents to most as an average single mom who is quietly raising her teenage daughter. But to a trusted few, she is The Equalizer – an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, who’s also dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption.
In tonight’s opener “Truth for a Truth” – McCall races to save the team after they’re put into extreme danger by her former CIA colleague Michelle Chambers (guest star Ilfanesh Hadera) while she discovers the truth behind the CIA withdrawal in Venezuela that led to the death of one of her friends.
Kittles is best known for his television roles in the drama series “True Detective,” opposite Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, Carlton Cuse’s “Colony,” with Josh Holloway, and Kurt Sutter’s “Sons of Anarchy.”
On the big screen, Kittles made his feature film debut in “Tigerland,” opposite Colin Farrell. He would go on to play Frederick Douglass in Kasi Lemmons’ “Harriet”; star in Antoine Fuqua’s “Olympus Has Fallen” and Spike Lee’s “Miracle at St. Anna”; and appear opposite Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson in “Get Rich or Die Tryin’.” He was last seen in “Among the Beasts,” where he also served as one of the producers.
