WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – Drew Scheid spent part of his teenage years acting in Wilmington, and now audiences can see him on NBC’s new comedy series The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins alongside stars Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe.
Scheid plays Shane E. Quinn III, the assistant to Monica Reese-Dinkins, the title character’s former wife and current manager played by Erica Alexander. The show follows Reggie Dinkins, a former NFL player ruined by a gambling scandal, who is trying to rebuild his reputation. Radcliffe, who audiences know from his years of playing Harry Potter in films, plays Arthur Tobin, who Reggie hires to shoot a documentary about his comeback.
