Wayne Brady Cast in Black Lightning

Entertainment Tonight is reporting that Wayne Brady has landed a recurring role on Black Lightning. Brady will portray Tyson Sykes (aka Gravedigger) in the back half of this season. Sykes is described as,

a World War II-era member of the U.S. military who became a "super soldier" after a secret experiment gifted him with enhanced strength, agility, tactical genius and hand-to-hand combat expertise. After the war, Sykes defected to the country of Markovia rather than return to a segregated America. His aim to create a sovereign land for metahumans within Markovia sets him on a collision course with the ASA and Black Lightning.
