In Season 2 of PERCEPTION, Dr. Pierce’s struggles to let go of his imaginary friendship with Natalie Vincent (Kelly Rowan, THE O.C.), but he must do so in order to start a romance with his doctor, Caroline Newsome (also played by Kelly Rowan). Award-winning actor LeVar Burton (Star Trek: The Next Generation) returns as Pierce’s best friend, Paul Haley, who serves as Dean at the University. PERCEPTION also stars Arjay Smith (The Day AfterTomorrow) as Max Lewicki, who is Pierce’s teaching assistant and whose primary job is to keep Pierce in line and on task, and Leigh Cook as FBI agent Kate Moretti, Pierce’s former student who asks him to consult on cases. Unlike her colleagues, Kate is willing to look past Pierce’s peculiarities and is responsible for recruiting him to work for the government.
Special guest star Scott Wolf (PARTY OF FIVE) joins the cast as Donnie, Kate’s soon-to-be ex-husband. A charming, fast-rising Assistant U.S. Attorney who recently transferred back to Chicago, Donnie seems less concerned with doing what’s right, than with doing what’s right for Donnie. While he claims his transfer back to Chicago was completely random, it’s clear he has a hidden agenda involving Kate. Additionally, Ray Wise (HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER) guest stars as Martin Sullivan, the CEO of Brooksville Chemical who finds himself at the centre of an investigation when his business is accused of being behind a chemical poisoning that sent a small town reeling.
