In an ER overwhelmed 24/7 with critical cases, the trauma team battles the odds every day, and the new doctors-in-training must learn how to cope amid the chaos. In CODE BLACK, Season Two, Residency Director Dr. Leanne Rorish (Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden), handles the high pressure with ease, ably guiding her rookie residents (Melanie Chandra, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Harry Ford, Nafessa Williams, Noah Gray-Cabey, Emily Tyra) to face the worst of circumstances with the best they've got. From elite military physician Col. Ethan Willis (Rob Lowe), they learn the latest battlefield-tested techniques, while Senior Nurse, Jesse Sallander (Luis Guzman) models compassion and caring. Working alongside Dr. Will Campbell (Boris Kodjoe), Dr. Rollie Guthrie (William Allen Young), and Dr. Heather Pinkney (Jillian Murray), the new residents must also learn to navigate hospital politics, because the wrong move could mean the end of their careers. Academy Award winner, Best Actress in a Supporting Role, Pollock, 2000.
