Speaking of Smash, Gaius is on another series. It's on Sunday nights on CBS and is called God Friended Me. I know this because I've actually been recording it (it premiered last fall). It's a sweet show and the cast is likable, but weirdly enough, I was giving it one more episode -- this past Sunday -- to really grab me or I was going to stop recording. But now that Gaius is on, I feel like I have to keep watching. I actually missed his debut because for a while I was just deleting the episodes without watching. Anyway, he plays a young reverend. Here's a blurb about the show:

Quote:
Scoop: Coming Up on a New Episode of GOD FRIENDED ME on CBS - Sunday, March 3, 2019
"Two Guys, a Girl, and a Thai Food Place" - Miles and Cara help a young woman who fell into a coma after disappearing the night before her wedding and wakes with no memory of that evening. Also, Rakesh comes face-to-face with Simon Hayes (Adam Goldberg), the tech CEO who may be involved with the God Account, and Arthur's mentorship of Rev. Carver (Gaius Charles) gets off to a rocky start, on GOD FRIENDED ME, Sunday, March 3 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

GOD FRIENDED ME is a humorous, uplifting drama about an outspoken atheist whose life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social media from "God" and unwittingly becomes an agent of change in the lives and destinies of others around him.

Miles Finer is intelligent, hopeful and optimistic, but he doesn't believe in God. This puts him at odds with his father, Reverend Arthur Finer, a beloved PREACHER at Harlem's Trinity Church for 25 years who is stung by his son's strong rejection of his faith. Miles feels he's found his purpose in life hosting a podcast where he's free to speak his mind, but that changes when he receives the ultimate friend request.
After repeated pokes by "God," Miles' CURIOSITY takes over, and he accepts the request and follows the signs to Cara Bloom, an online journalist suffering from writer's block. Brought together by the God Account, the two find themselves investigating "God's" friend suggestions and inadvertently helping others in need.

Joining them on their journey are Miles's supportive sister, Ali, a doctoral PSYCH student by day and bartender by night, and his best friend, Rakesh, a sometime hacker who helps Miles and Cara research the enigmatic account. Miles is set on getting to the bottom of what he believes is an elaborate hoax, but in the meantime he'll play along and, in the process, change his life forever.
