Veteran actor Geoffrey Owens is heading back to primetime, landing a guest-starring role on the hit medical drama The Pitt for its second season.
According to reports, Owens will appear in the show’s upcoming 13th episode, where he will portray Dr. Clay Barrett, a cardio-thoracic surgeon introduced during a high-stakes moment inside the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. The episode is scheduled to air on April 2.
Best known for his role as Elvin Tibideaux on The Cosby Show, Owens’ casting marks another notable addition to his steady return to television in recent years. His appearance on The Pitt continues a career resurgence that has included roles on series such as NCIS and Blue Bloods, following a wave of public support after he made headlines in 2018.
Season 2 of The Pitt has continued to draw attention for its intense, real-time storytelling format and strong ensemble cast. The series, led by Noah Wyle, follows emergency room staff navigating a single, high-pressure shift at a Pittsburgh hospital.
Owens joins a growing list of guest stars this season, adding to the show’s reputation for bringing in seasoned performers to heighten its dramatic storylines. His character is expected to play a key role in one of the season’s most critical medical cases.
New episodes of The Pitt air Thursdays on HBO Max.
