Watson meanwhile will recur as Dontae Evans, the West Wing’s new Digital Officer. As a gay black man, he doesn’t shy away from doing what he can to see that Kirkman’s administration keeps its eye on issues that affect African Americans and LGBTQ individuals.
Other, previously announced castings for Season 3 include Elena Tovar (General Hospital) as Isabel, the White House’s director of social innovation.
Holly’s previous TV credits include Motive, Chicago Hope and Picket Fences, while Watson recurred during Season 3 of The Killing.
