Actor Dorian Missick — husband of Simone Missick (Judge Lola Carmichael) — played DJ Tailwind Turner on last night’s season finale of the CBS legal drama All Rise.
The episode, titled Dancing at Los Angeles, followed a virtual bench trial presided over by Judge Lola Carmichael (Simone Missick). Judge Carmichael remotely oversaw the trial involving a dispute between two brothers over a stolen car.
Dorian Missick, an emcee and DJ, appeared as DJ Tailwind Turner, his real-life moniker.
Missick narrated Monday night’s coronavirus lockdown-themed episode of the show that explored the subject of social distancing. In the episode, Emily (Jessica Camacho) and Luke (J. Alex Brinson) have a virtual date and DJ Tailwind Turner hosts a virtual house party.
All Rise is first scripted series to return to production since COVID-19 shutdown
All Rise is the first scripted TV show to return to production since the coronavirus outbreak forced networks to halt production on TV shows.
The cast of the series, including Simone Missick, Marg Helgenberger, Wilson Bethel, Jessica Camacho, and J. Alex Brinson, came together to remotely create a virtual episode. A virtually produced episode allowed the cast to avoid breaking social distancing guidelines put in place to control the spread of coronavirus infection.
