Veteran actor Blair Underwood has played many complex characters over his entertainment career of nearly 40 years, but the L.A. Law and Sex and the City star said his latest role in Starz’s provocative drama Three Women as a husband in an open marriage was among his most challenging.
Based on Lisa Taddeo’s best-selling nonfiction book of the same name, the series, which premieres September 13, follows a reporter who documents the stories of three women from different walks of life seeking to explore their true desires. Underwood’s role as a husband in a polyamorous relationship with his wife, played by DeWanda Wise, was a departure for the 60-year-old actor.
