William Jackson Harper, who plays indecisive ethics and moral philosophy professor Chidi Anagonye, has a bunch of exciting projects forthcoming in the next few years. Coming up, he'll star alongside Anne Hathaway and Mark Ruffalo in the drama flick Dark Waters, which tells the true story of a corporate defence attorney who takes on an environmental lawsuit against a chemical company. Though not much is known about Harper's role, we only have to wait until Nov. 22 to find out for ourselves.
Another project for Harper includes a recurring role on Amazon's The Underground Railroad, a series adapted from Colson Whitehead's bestselling novel of the same name. Harper is set to play Royal, a freeborn black man who encounters a young slave named Cora on her path to escape. There's no word yet on when we may expect to see this one hit the small screen.
You can also catch Harper in the second season of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan as recurring character Xander when the series returns to Amazon on Nov. 1.
