*“She’s a young ambitious dreamer,” Michele Weaver (Nighthawk) said of her new role as Luly in the new NBC drama “Council of Dads.”
“She was encouraged to go to New York…to accomplish her dream when she finds out her dad is ill. So she navigates that to support him…its really about sacrifice.”
The “Council of Dads” drama series is based on a book, “The Council of Dads,” by Bruce Feiler. It also stars Tom Everett Scott (“Southland”), Emjay Anthony, Sarah Wayne Callies, Blue Chapman, Steven Silver, Clive Standen, Michael O’Neill, Thaila Tran, and J. August Richards (Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”).
Scott Perry (Everett Scott) is told by his physician Dr. Oliver Post (J. August Richards) that he has cancer and not long to live. Perry enlists Dr. Post and two others – Anthony (Clive Standen) and Larry (Michael O’Neill) – to fill in for him as dad to his four youngest kids when he passes. So “Council of Dads” is about how the three of them are there for his wife Robin (Sarah Wayne Callies) and children –Theo (Emjay Anthony), Charlotte (Thaila Tran), JJ (Blue Chapman) and Hope (a newborn).
When asked if there were any similarities in her and her new character Luly, who is from a previous marriage, Michele said, “Doing what you have to do and not what you want to do – I can completely relate to that.”
