Christian Slater Joins New ABC Drama

BURBANK: Christian Slater has joined the cast of Jerry Bruckheimer’s new ABC drama The Forgotten, which premieres Tuesday, September 22 at 10 p.m.

The show focuses on a team of dedicated amateurs—“The Forgotten Network”—who work on murder cases involving unidentified victims. Slater stars as Alex Donovan, who heads up the group, which works to solve the puzzle of the victim’s identity in order to then help catch the killer. The cast also includes Michelle Borth, Bob Stephenson, Anthony Carrigan and Rochelle Aytes. The Warner Bros. Television show marks Slater’s second stab at network TV, after his run on NBC’s cancelled My Own Worst Enemy.
