AS A STAR AND PRODUCER ON HIGH POTENTIAL, KAITLIN OLSON IS ALL-IN on the ABC dramedy, now in its second season.

- H. Alan Scott

“The heart and soul of this show is Morgan’s family and her children, and I don’t want those to ever be cheesy.” Olson’s Morgan is a single mom with an extraordinary gift for solving unsolvable crimes. “Getting it [the balance between family and crime] right was really important” to her. And producing ensures her creative voice is heard. “I'm grateful every day that I’m in a place where I can trust my instincts and say, ‘This isn’t working, and here’s how I think we can change it.’” Her career has been hard-earned, after 20 years playing Deandra “Sweet Dee” on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. “On the outside [it] looks like a dumb comedy—it's not.

TYLER JAMES WILLIAMS

AFTER FIVE SEASONS PLAYING GREGORY ON ABC’S ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, Tyler James Williams is adding a new title: director. “I have been wanting to get my hands dirty in another aspect of the process.” With his acting background, “My brain thinks in act breaks and pacing, and I guess finding the funniest way to see and show something.” This evolution is just another notch in an already impressive career, with his breakout lead role as a child actor on Everybody Hates Chris and in the film Dear White People. “There’s definitely a consistent thread...a guy who's trying to find his way ultimately, who may be a bit more awkward and outside of the norm than most people, but who's sincerely trying.” With multiple Emmy nominations for Abbott, Williams said of his red-carpet opportunities: “We may have a little bit more hill to climb. So with that being the case, we're gonna have fun with it.” —H. Alan Scott
