Apex Shadow - Episodes Two and Three -- "Fragile Little Gods" and "When They Fall Like Stars" -- new roles added!
Rodrigo Severino for Doctor Elliot Reed
Doctor Reed is the chief physician at Heartsong Medical, and a recurring character in Apex Shadow. He's warm, confident, and open-minded. His compassion for other people is the driving force behind his ongoing relationship with Madison Park and Caliburn Services. But it's worth nothing that there's far more to Doctor Reed than meets the eye, which will be explored in later episodes.

(Speaking confidentially with Jack, regarding Auggie's latest injury. Being delicate, but with a hint of alarm.)
I've been going over the boy's x-rays, and I can tell you this much. This wasn't from a simple fall.
(Carefully laying out the implications of abuse.)
His skin is unusually dense. Enhanced durability in his bones and musculature, as well. A burgeoning gift from his father, no doubt. In its early stages of development, but still. The force required to do this kind of damage? It'd have to be... [pausing for emphasis] comparable.
(A slight edge to his voice.)
I've notified the police. I believe you already know Detective Kavanaugh? I'll tell you what I told her, Jack-- do something for this kid. Even if he wakes up now... next time, we might not be so lucky.
