Deadline reports that Harry will play Daniel 'Blue' Kwan, a man who is "sharp-witted, impatient and brilliant". His character description hints at a backstory that would explain why he is older than the other residents.
"He is generous by nature but competitive to a fault, naturally gifted, and used to winning at everything. A family crisis interfered with his career plans and now he’s got a lot to prove," it reads.
