Perry plays Dr. Carol Pierce, the head of psychology at Bronx General and Wolf’s longtime friend. She works as one of the most sought-after psychiatrists in the city while also navigating a strained personal relationship at the hospital. She recruits Wolf to work alongside her at Bronx General to create a neuropsychology dream team, helping patients who have been deemed hopeless.
Perry was last seen opposite Jamie Foxx in the Netflix film They Cloned Tyrone. Previous TV credits include APB, All-American: Homecoming, The Good Lord Bird, The Good Fight, Bosch and How to Get Away with Murder.
