Created and execu- tive-produced by film- maker John Ridley ("12 Years a Slave"), the ABC drama series begins its third round Sunday, March 12. After stories of a home invasion's after- math and an assault on a private-school student, the show's newest tale focuses on modern labor matters at a North Caroli- na farm (though the filming actually has been done in California), encompassing troubling socioeconomic aspects discovered by a Mexican father (played by continuing co-star Beni- to Martinez) during his search for his missing son. Other members of the "American Crime" acting ensemble returning in new roles include Felicity Huffman, Timothy Hutton, Regina King (who won Emmys for her work in both Seasons 1 and 2), Lili Taylor, Richard Cabral and Connor Jessup. They're joined by familiar television faces Cherry Jones ("24"), Sandra Oh ("Grey's Anatomy"), Tim DeKay ("White Collar"), Janel Moloney ("The West Wing") and Dallas Roberts ("The Walking Dead"). "In terms of the issues that we try to address," Ridley explains, "a lot of it is really predicated on issues or circumstances or individuals that we felt per- haps we didn't address in the previous seasons. "There are so many voices out there that nor- mally are not given any kind of a platform, so to look at the work that we've done, to have the oppor- tunity to actually look back and to try to identify spac- es in the social system — the connectivity that is in and among us that oftentimes we're not even aware of ourselves, and try to represent a cascade effect between the things we do and the people that we may not know, but whom we affect — (that is) what we try to accomplish, and do it in a way that is representative of the coun- try that we live in." In her third "American Crime" round, actress King plays a social worker, which regular viewers of the series will recognize as being much different from her previous two roles on the series. Regina King returns in Season 3 of "American Crime," starting Sunday on ABC.
