In the Season 6 premiere of The Blacklist, Red (James Spader) and the Task Force were on the hunt for plastic surgeon Dr. Hans Koehler (guest star Kenneth Tigar), who created a new identity for wanted criminal Bastien Moreau (Christopher Lambert). In the season’s second episode, “The Corsican,” the elusive Blacklister Moreau has fooled everyone with his new identity (a delegate from Turkey) at the United Nations building, which he plans to bomb. But that’s not all Red has to worry about. The FBI’s #1 Most Wanted fugitive has been arrested and U.S. Attorney General Susan Holt is hoping for a death sentence.
U.S. Attorney General Susan Holt on The Blacklist is portrayed by Broadway star Karen Pittman, who starred in the Tony Award-nominated, Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway play “Disgraced.” Holt is also known for her TV roles on Netflix’s Luke Cage (Deputy Chief Priscilla Ridley), The Americans (Lisa), Horace and Pete (Rhonda), and in the 2010 film Last Night with Keira Knightley (Caroline), among others. Pittman will appear next in Apple’s Top of the Morning with Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carell. The Blacklist airs Thursdays at 10 pm on NBC, right after The Titan Games with host Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
