Chi McBride talks about new season of hit show, Chicago’s violence |
Chicago Defender, United States - Picture a private investigator using a pie maker who has special powers to raise the dead with a single touch and help solve murder cases.
Sound off-the-wall?
Well to Chi McBride, it does and it doesn’t.
The Chicago native, born Kenneth McBride, said it’s been a while since he had a comedic role, and when the TV show “Pushing Daisies” was presented to him, he knew it was a good fit.
McBride plays Emerson Cod, the private investigator, on the Emmy-nominated ABC show.
“I hadn’t found anything that was interesting, especially for Black characters. This was something that was very different. I wanted to do something a little lighter, and this was it,” McBride told the Defender about his character and the show that starts its second season Oct. 1.
