Serinda Swan was in the middle of a successful three-season run on “Graceland” when “Chicago Fire” came knocking. After both gigs folded, she managed to move on to other, equally long-running spots in other series. Swan appeared on six episodes of “Ballers” as Chloe, and then she portrayed Medusa on eight episodes of Marvel’s “Inhumans.” More recently, she was a regular on “Coroner,” which ran for four seasons on The CW, where she was Dr. Jenny Cooper. She also appeared in the film “Devotion” as Elizabeth Taylor.
Interestingly, her latest role waits in the wings; Amazon Studios cast her in the second season of Prime Video’s “Reacher,” where she will play Karla Dixon, a new character who knew Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) back when he was in the Army’s unit of Special Investigators. Dixon is now a very tough PI who’s set to help Reacher out on his latest case. Swan’s career is on the rise, and her role on “Chicago Fire” only helped things out.
