Moore’s part in MCU’s The Punisher. With First Kill coming to an end, it’s best to check out these films and shows to stay in touch the Netflix series’ solid cast.

Christopher B. Duncan: The Jamie Foxx Show (1996-2001)
Available To Stream On HBO Max
The Jamie Foxx Show is an underrated sitcom that not many know about after Foxx tasted greater success in films. Regardless, the series had a good run of five seasons that depicted Foxx’s character working at his family hotel to support himself for his music career.
Christopher B. Duncan appears as Braxton P. Hartnabrig, the uptight nemesis of the main protagonist for the early seasons before ultimately becoming his best friend. Duncan’s comedic chops will seem even more impressive after First Kill considering how different both shows are.

Dominic Goodman: Young Rock (2021-)
Available To Watch On Peacock Premium
There aren’t many shows similar to Young Rock, seeing as it’s about the youth of Dwayne Johnson told through a comedic lens. Dominic Goodman had a prominent role in one episode where he played the working partner of the titular character as they take on a grueling on-campus job.
Goodman may have been around for just a single story, but he had a fair amount of screentime that he used to showcase his skills at humor. First Kill fans will get a kick out of watching him a happier and light material compared to the vampire series.

Atlanta is a comedy-drama TV series about the main character Earn taking on his cousin as his music manager to finally do something worthwhile in his life. However, Aubin Wise appeared in an episode that focused on Earn’s former girlfriend Van, with Wise’s character being Van’s old friend.
Wise’s single appearance in Atlanta remains memorable, as her sudden return to Van’s life makes the latter act rashly and leads to several new problems. Wise’s solid performance doesn’t make viewers see her appearance as a guest role since her actions make a long-term impact.
