Actress Amirah Vann, last seen playing Ernestine in WGN America’s cancelled series Underground, has booked a recurring role for the upcoming Season 6 of TNT’s rime-drama, police procedural series Major Crimes.
Vann will play a Special Agent Jazzma Fey, who is described as a focused team player whose loyalty is tested by a zealous partner determined to score political points.
The drama, from Warner Bros. TV, centers on a special squad within the LAPD that deals with high-profile or particularly sensitive crimes. She joins an ensemble cast that includes Mary McDonnell, G.W. Bailey, Tony Denison, Michael Paul Chan, Raymond Cruz, Phillip P. Keene, Kearran Giovanni, Jonathan Del Arco, Graham Patrick Martin, Leonard Roberts and Jessica Meraz.
“Major Crimes,” which will have 13 episodes run this season, is a spin-off of TNT’s The Closer.
Vann was nominated for a NAACP Image Award for her role as Ernestine on WGN America’s “Underground,” which wrapped its second and final season in May. Producers are still searching for a new home as fans eagerly await a pickup from somewhere. Her other credits include Girls, Mozart in the Jungle, and features Tracers and And So it Goes.
