T10 WHATS UP! September 12 - 18, 2021 haps best known as news anchor Will McAvoy in HBO's "The Newsroom," a role that earned him an Emmy in 2013. He earned another Emmy for his work in the Netflix miniseries "Godless" in 2017. Daniels brings that ver- satility to "American Rust" as Harris, who struggles to decide how far he is willing to go to pro- tect Billy. More than a straightforward murder mystery, "American Rust" shows viewers the realities of once-bustling towns in what is known as the Rust Belt — an area of the United States hit hard by economic decline and rising crime rates. Tierney's Grace is a direct reflection of that decline as she frets about her job at the dress factory. The actress is no stranger to Showtime. From 2014 to 2019, Tierney starred as Helen Solloway in the mystery drama "The Affair" on the cable channel. She's also well known for her role as Abby Lockhart in the classic medical drama "ER" and as Lisa Miller in the sitcom "NewsRadio." As Billy, Neustaedter portrays a young man torn between per- sonal loyalties and his own de- sires. A former high school foot- ball star, Billy turned down an athletic scholarship to stay in town. While Neustaedter is best known for his work on USA Net- work's sci-fi series "Colony," his credits also include "A.X.L." (2018), "American Woman" (2018) and "Josie & Jack" (2019). David Alvarez plays Billy's friend, Isaac English, who de- cides to run away from his ailing father and sets out to hitchhike across the country. A military veteran, Alvarez won a Tony Award for his starring turn in "Billy Elliot the Musical" on Broadway, and has been cast in Steven Spielberg's upcoming big-screen production of "West Side Story." Fellow Broadway actor and Emmy nominee Bill Camp ("The Outsider") portrays Isaac's disabled father, Henry English. A former steelworker and a widower, Henry has bur- dened Isaac with his full-time care. Camp earned a Tony nomi- nee for his role in "The Cruci- ble" in 2016 and was honored with an Emmy nod for his work in the HBO miniseries "The Night Of" in 2017. More recently, he appeared in the Netflix mini- series "The Queen's Gambit." When Isaac runs away, Henry calls upon his daughter, Lee (Ju- lia Mayorga, "It Is Decidedly So," 2018). A Columbia law school graduate, Lee is forced to return to her hometown. Mayorga was studying acting at the Terry Knickerbocker Conservatory when she was cast in "American Rust." With Daniels leading the charge and a mix of seasoned ac- tors and talented newcomers, this powerful tale about the tat- tered American dream is one to watch. Catch the premiere of "Ameri- can Rust" Sunday, Sept. 12, on Showtime.
