cast on

Roman was cast on the show, which would go from a summer replacement series for “The Smothers Brothers” to a hit running for 23 seasons.

The series marks a historic breakthrough as the first daytime soap with a primarily Black cast on network TV.

The actor accompanied his post with images of himself in a hospital bed with a cast on his left arm.

“Abbott” features the largest primarily Black cast on network TV, whereas the ensemble in “Sunny” is white and rarely crosses paths with Black characters without it turning into some kind of travesty.

Olsen: Being cast on something like “Star” must have felt like a great way to sort of bridge those two worlds.
