<![CDATA[Ghanaian-born child star, Kwesi Boakye will feature on ‘Touch’, a new FOX drama series starring Kiefer Sutherland (“24”), Danny Glover, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. Kwesi will guest star on Thursday night’s episode showing on Fox in the US. The series will also air on Sky 1 in UK and across Europe and viewers are advised to check their local listings.
Kiefer Sutherland says he wasn’t planning on returning to TV after 24, but changed his mind after reading the script for Touch. Created by Tim Kring, the sci-fi screenwriter who created ‘Heroes’, Touch features plenty of elements familiar to viewers of recent US paranormal dramas – a borderline autistic child, numbers, the notion that some unseen entity is guiding mankind, 9/11 conspiracy theories, Google Earth-style aerial shots – and a movie-sized production budget that attracted not just Sutherland but also Danny Glover, who appears fleetingly as a cranky eccentric boffin with an addiction to orange fizzy drink.
Sutherland’s character Martin Bohm is struggling to fulfil the demands of being a single parent to an 11-year-old mute genius who, according to Glover, sees “cosmic pain that needs to be healed” in the form of sequences of numbers.
