Esai moves to Jericho

Esai has joined the cast of the CBS midseason series Jericho. The Hollywood Reporter reports the actor has joined the resurrected CBS series in a recurring role, appearing in six of the seven episodes of the show ordered for midseason.
Morales will play Col. Hoffman, a career military officer and Iraq War veteran who has not heard from his wife since the day of the series' fictional attacks. Jericho was cancelled by CBS in May but, after the outcry of fans, the network opted to bring it back at midseason.
