Ruben Santiago-Hudson is a celebrated Broadway director, producer, playwright and actor, also possibly the world's leading proponent for playwright August Wilson, who died in 2005.
Then _ almost as an afterthought _ there's TV.
Santiago-Hudson, 61, has starred on "Billions" the past few seasons, and on the ABC hit "Castle" during most of its run. Over the decades he's typically played the thoughtful, sober type _ judge/doctor/cop _ so his latest series, the excellent OWN newcomer, "David Makes Man" (Wednesdays at 10 p.m.) feels custom-fit: As the wise Dr. Bree, he attempts to unravel the psychic mysteries of David (Akili McDowell), a gifted kid in the Florida projects who conducts animated conversations with a dead drug-dealer ("Hamilton's" Isaiah Johnson).
