Malcolm-Jamal Warner (The Resident, 9-1-1) and Megalyn Echikunwoke (House of Lies, Almost Family) have landed recurring roles opposite Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez in the upcoming third season of its procedural drama "Alert: Missing Persons Unit".



Warner plays Chief Inspector Bill Houston, who steps into an interim role with oversight of the MPU.

A former Army Captain, Houston believes in structure and rules and, in the past, had issues with Jason’s cowboy tactics. He begins to come around to the idea that some rules need to be broken once he sees the results the team gets with their unorthodox approach. He will become the father figure MPU didn’t know they needed.



Echikunwoke plays Lt. Gabrielle Bennett, who started her career in Philly PD as Jason’s trainee. His departure under clouded circumstances was followed by her fast rise.

Not a coincidence. Bennett is tough, ambitious, and has a cutting sense of humor. She supports getting things done by any means necessary, just so long as nothing comes back to bite her.
