Adam Goldberg has joined the cast of CBS's reboot of The Equalizer.
Goldberg will be portraying Harry Keshegian, who serves as tech support for Robyn McCall (Queen Latifah). Keshegian is described as being "gruffly endearing, lovably annoying, eccentric and a collector of facts and artifacts" who also happens to be a conspiracy theorist. Goldberg has played supporting roles in other shows, including NBC's Taken and the short-lived sitcom God Friended Me on CBS.
The original version of The Equalizer ran from 1985-8 and starred Edward Woodward as ex-intelligence agent Robert McCall. Denzel Washington portrayed McCall in a pair of live-action films directed by Antoine Fuqua in 2014 and 2018. Latifah will star and executive produce in the series, which features a gender-bent version of McCall using her skills to help those in need. Other cast members include Lorraine Toussaint and Chris Noth (Sex and the City).
Richard Lindheim, who served as the co-creator of the original Equalizer series, will also be a producer on the new series. Andrew Marlowe & Terri Miller wrote the pilot and will also serve as producers on the series. Liz Friedlander will direct the pilot, which is currently in production and received a series pickup.
Written by Andrew Marlowe & Terri Miller, The Equalizer pilot stars Queen Latifah. It is produced by Latifah, John Davis, John Fox, Debra Martin Chase, Richard Linheim, and Shakim Compere.
