With its very recent premiere, eagle-eyed fans noted some changes to the "Quantico" Season 2 cast. Most notably, fans are abuzz as to the identity of two new faces seen in the second season premiere of ABC's hit drama thriller series.
'Quantico' Season 2 Cast - Pearl Thusi Joins As Dayana Mampasi
Toward the end of "Quantico" Season 2 premiere, viewers' interest were piqued with the woman that can be briefly seen crying in the bedroom shared with Alex Parrish, played by Priyanka Chopra. Being roommates with the series' main protagonist, fans of course assumed that the new character will have a substantial presence in the succeeding episodes.
Thanks to TV Line, the identity of Alex's new roommate is now finally revealed as well as the character she will portray. She is actually Pearl Thusi, a South African actress who was tapped to play the role of Dayana Mampasi in the ongoing "Quantico" Season 2.
Joshua Safran, "Quantico" creator, revealed a little about Pearl Thusi's character. Born in Zimbabwe, Dayana went stateside as a teen, eventually becoming a human rights lawyer. However, she did not join the CIA on her own but was recruited, which could mean big adjustments for her in "Quantico" Season 2.
Safran hints that in "Quantico" Season 2, her stint in the CIA could be trying times for her. While she is a successful lawyer and business woman in her private life, she would have a hard time with her new life as a CIA recruit, with Safran saying that she'll be the Shelby for this season.
'Quantico' Season 2 Cast - David Lim As Sebastian Chen
For those who are wondering about the identity of the person inside Harry's room in the "Quantico" Season 2 premiere, TV Line also has the answer. It is actually Sebastien Chen, whose qualities are already revealed by Safran.
David Lim of 90210 fame was tapped to join the "Quantico" Season 2 cast as Sebastian. According to Safran, Sebastian has strong moral convictions, smart and deeply religious. Well, that is how he is at the start of the season anyway; it should be interesting to see how CIA work changes him with the sometimes gray areas he has to navigate.
"Quantico" Season 2 currently air on ABC during Sundays occupying the networks 10 p.m. slot ET. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for updates.
