Victoria Rowell Joins ‘Good Sam’, ‘9-1-1’ Casts Bryce Durfee
EXCLUSIVE: The Rich & The Ruthless creator and star Victoria Rowell has booked a key recurring role on CBS’ medical drama Good Sam. Written by Katie Wech and directed by Tamra Davis, Good Sam centers on Sam (Bush), a talented yet stifled heart surgeon who embraces her leadership role after her renowned and pompous boss Dr. Rob “Griff” Griffith falls into a coma. Rowell plays Tina Kingsley, a high-powered, sophisticated, chairwoman of the hospital board with the kind of power that does not assert itself. Alienated from her son Malcolm (Edwin Hodge), Tina possesses a strong will to take what’s in her sights, even when it means navigating complicated relationships from her past. Rowell created, directs and stars in The Rich and the Ruthless, which recently moved to BET+. Her previous notable credits include Diagnosis Murder and Dumb and Dumber. Emmy-nominated Rowell is an 11-time NAACP Image Award winner for The Young and the Restless. Rowell is repped by Mavrick Artists and Adam Mehr at McCathern LLP.
