Dorian Missick currently stars on SEASON 2 of ABC’s hit crime drama/thriller FOR LIFE, which aired its season 2 finale on February 24th. Created by Hank Steinberg and produced by 50 Cent, the timely drama is based on the true story of Isaac Wright Jr., who was imprisoned for a crime that he did not commit. While incarcerated, he became a licensed attorney and helped to overturn the wrongful convictions of twenty of his fellow inmates, before finally proving his own innocence.

Missick then stayed in the John Wells family and had a heavily recurring role in the TNT series “Animal Kingdom.” Other recent roles include a series regular on CBS All Access’s Tell Me A Story, Marvel’s Luke Cage, the lead opposite Brandy in BET’s comedy series “Zoe Ever After,” NBC’s drama “The Cape,” JJ Abrams’ “Six Degrees” for ABC.
