‘Bosch’ Casts Christopher Backus; ‘Blindspot’ Adds Jonathan Patrick Moore

Christopher Backus has booked a recurring role on Amazon’s drama series Bosch. Backus will play Woody Woodrell, a former Army Special Forces soldier who now works for a private security firm. Based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling Harry Bosch novels, Bosch stars Titus Welliver as the idiosyncratic, tough, jazz-loving cop. The third season, set to premiere in 2017, will draw from Connolly’s 1992 The Black Echo and 2001 A Darkness More Than Night books. Backus most recently was seen in Showtime’s Roadies as the bassist for the Staton House Band. He also had a major arc on WGN’s Underground and guested on AMC’s Sons of Anarchy. He’s repped by Don Buchwald & Associates and Untitled Entertainment

Jonathan Patrick Moore is set for a recurring role on the second season of NBC’s hit drama series Blindspot. He’ll play Oliver Kind, a water conversation specialist who befriends Jane (Jaime Alexander). Season 2 picks up three months after Jane was arrested and taken to a CIA black site. Moore’s recent TV credits include Grimm, Rizzoli & Isles and Royal Pains. He’s repped by Greene & Associates Talent Agency.
