Edwin Hodge was thrilled when he learned that Steven Williams of “The Chi” and ‘The X-Files” had been cast to play Ray Cannon Sr, the father of his character Ray, in Tuesday’s episode of “FBI: Most Wanted.”
“I found out about a week prior and I immediately was excited by the choice,” Hodge told TheWrap ahead of the episode’s debut. “‘The X Files’ was my jam.”
In the episode, titled “Footsteps,” Ray learns that a pair of bombers is targeting cops from a 20-year-old case, which includes his father. Could his dad be next in line? TheWrap spoke with Hodge about how Ray’s idol worship of his father is called into question, and how we can expect more personal storylines from all the characters in Season 5 of the CBS procedural.
