In a recurring role, Shalhoub will play Dr. Bernard Prince, a new ER doctor who has a great bedside manner and a special touch with his boss, Gloria Akalitus (Anna Deavere Smith). He also offers Edie Falco‘s title character Jackie something she desperately needs – a friend.
In addition to “Monk,” which earned him four straight Emmy nominations, Shalhoub’s credits include “Wings,” “Men in Black” and the current big-screen offering “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”
