Dayton native to appear as ‘wrongly convicted man’ on CBS show tonight
You may recognized the wrongly convicted man on tonight’s episode of CBS’ “The Good Wife.”
He will be played by Dayton native and veteran actor Curtiss Cook.
Cook portrays Clarence, a death row inmate wrongly convicted of murdering a police officer.
Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and her associates will attempt to prove Clarence’s innocence. The episode airs at 10 p.m. on WHIO.
He will play Trey Washington in “Shutter Island,” a Martin Scorsese film starring Leonardo DiCaprio set to be released in February.
Cook, a 1987 graduate of Belmont High School, now lives in upstate New York with his wife.
While in Dayton, he performed with the Muse Machine and danced with the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company. Cook’s acting resume includes roles on “Law & Order” and “The Sopranos.”
Interestingly enough, Cook is the voice of Street Preacher in some of the “Grand Theft Auto” video games.
Although the scene was cut from the film, Cook kissed Nicole Kidman in the film “The Interpreter.”
