‘All American’: Christian James Joins Season 4 Cast In A Recurring Role

Christian James is set to appear on season 4 of CW’s sports drama, “All American,” in a recurring role.

The “Cerebrum” actor will play the role of Wade Waters, a talented but arrogant quarterback from Golden Angeles University who enjoys lording it over the freshmen in the school. He puts the new guys in uncomfortable situations and pressures them into making questionable choices, as per a report by Deadline.

All American stars Daniel Ezra, Samantha Logan, Michael Evans Behling, Tyler Diggs, Bre-Z, Greta Onieogou, Monet Mazur, Cody Christian, Karimah Westbrook and Chelsea Tavares. It is inspired by the life of former NFL player Spencer Paysinger who spent his early years in a South-Central L.A. neighborhood and played football in a high school in Beverly Hills.

Season 4 of the series continues with the story of Spencer James (played by Ezra) who is in his senior year at South Crenshaw High with Billy Baker (Diggs) as the new head coach of the football team. This time, Spencer has his eyes set on playing professional football and is seriously contemplating a future with the NFL. Meanwhile, Beverly High and South Crenshaw High students navigate the difficult last half of their senior year which includes an unexpected prom, the outlet reported.

The show's official Twitter page earlier tweeted a trailer clip showing snippets of new episodes of "All American" and its spinoff, "All American: Homecoming" and captioned it, "Mondays are for the All American Universe!"

Apart from the indie sci-fi thriller "Cerebrum," James starred as the male lead in the Lionsgate/CBS Films feature "Hell Fest." He was also featured in the films "True To The Game 2" and American independent entertainment company A24’s "Hot Summer Nights."

Singer JoJo recently announced she is joining the cast of "All American" as a famous recording artist who is searching for new music. Her character, Sabine, will collaborate with Layla (Greta Onieogou) who will act as a young music producer when the show returns on Feb. 21.

The second half of Season 4 will reveal whether Spencer makes it to graduation day triumphantly despite falling into a few setbacks like the trophy heist. In real life, Spencer Paysinger went to college and played football in Oregon.
