On April 2nd, Luke Tenney, the actor you know from shrinking an avid elementary, just manifested his way onto the pit. At a red carpet event, he shouted out the Warner Brothers medical drama, saying he'd take any role, even a background patient. A few months later, boom, he auditions in books Dr. Cruz Henderson, a fourth year resident on the night shift. This character marks a shift for Tenney.

Tenney digs the role and hopes for more screen time. He teases that season 2 builds to a massive crescendo, with his character popping up in the final 3 episodes for some of the show's wildest.
