Gross will play Lincoln Cole, a decorated war hero and ex-Marine Gunnery Sergeant with the Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team.

Ian Anthony Dale, Meaghan Rath, Beulah Koale, Katrina Law, Taylor Wily, Dennis Chun, Kimee Balmilero and Chi McBride co-star in the series from CBS Television Studios.

Gross most recently was a series regular on Fox series Star and Sleepy Hollow and recurred on CBS’ MacGyver and Amazon’s Too Old to Die Young. He’s repped by WME, Goodmanagement and attorney Neil Meyer.
