According to Deadline, Nia Long and Brian Baumgartner have been added to the cast of Amazon’s Hand of God for Season 2.
Long will play Isadora “Izzy” Williams, described as a tough but charming journalist who has a history with Mayor Robert ‘Bobo’ Boston (Andre Royo).
Baumgartner will play Dr. Olonari, a successful and eccentric brain specialist in San Francisco.
Created by Ben Watkins (Burn Notice), and marking the television debut of renowned filmmaker Marc Forster (World War Z), Hand of God is a drama centered around Judge Pernell Harris (Ron Perlman) who suffers a mental breakdown and goes on a vigilante quest to find the rapist who tore his family apart by relying on “visions” he believes are being sent by God through his son.
Hand of God also stars Dana Delany (Body of Proof) as the Judge’s wife Crystal Harris, Garret Dillahunt (Justified) as KD, the born-again sociopath who is exploited by Pernell, Andre Royo (The Wire) as the slick and greedy mayor Robert ‘Bobo’ Boston, Alona Tal (Burn Notice) as Pernell’s grieving daughter-in-law Jocelyn Harris, Julian Morris (Pretty Little Liars) as the questionable preacher, and Emayatzy Corinealdi (Middle Of Nowhere) as Pernell’s call girl and confidante Tessie, among others.
Long will next be seen in Keanu opposite Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, as well as on ABC’s Uncle Buck with Mike Epps. Baumgartner, best known for his role as Kevin on NBC’s The Office, has a role in the indie film Geezer, a punk rock dramedy with Billie Joe Armstrong and Judy Greer that premiered at the TriBeCa Film Festival.
