You have to. It happened where I just fell in love with Avi, and he\u2019s so fascinating and so complex and such a mysterious character I think, even to himself. That was definitely something that I had to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4896710\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4896710\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/the-calling-show-peacock-embed.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4896710\" src=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/the-calling-show-peacock-embed.jpg\" alt=\"Jeff Wilbusch \" width=\"620\" height=\"414\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4896710\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeff Wilbusch as Avraham.

He is such a devoted detective, but his cases are everything to him. But in real life, he has no children. He\u2019s single. He has basically no life, so he prefers to work alone. But then when Detective Harris wants to work with him\u2026 it\u2019s not the first time that people want to work with him, want to understand what he does, but Detective Harris, played by the amazing<strong> Juliana Canfield<\/strong>, she\u2019s special. She\u2019s ambitious, she\u2019s curious, and she inspires Avraham and surprises him. I think this is a character, this is a partner, that he didn\u2019t want but he definitely needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">Executive producer <strong>Matthew Tinker<\/strong> revealed that the second Jeff walked by the door to audition for Avraham, that was it. \u201cIt was like, you\u2019re Avraham, and Avraham is you. There were a lot of conversations about casting authentically and honestly these days, and I\u2019m really proud that we have someone starring who is portraying beliefs and characteristics and even mannerisms that are authentic to who this character is on the page of the books,\u201d Matthew mentioned.<\/p>\n<aside aria-labelledby=\"articles-trending-now\" class=\"entry-navigation inline-trending-stories\">\n\t\t<span id=\"articles-trending-now\" class=\"screen-reader-only\">Articles Trending Now<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"entry-navigation__heading\">\n\t\t\tTrending Now\t\t\t<span class=\"entry-navigation__heading__icon\"><svg fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 17\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t<path fill=\"#D718A7\" d=\"M8 16.376a8 8 0 1 0 0-16 8 8 0 0 0 0 16Z\"\/>\n\t<path stroke=\"#fff\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"m9.51 5.626 2.11-.75.76 2.09\"\/>\n\t<path stroke=\"#fff\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"m3.42 10.696 2.21-3.05 2.03 3.83 3.95-6.5\"\/>\n<\/svg><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- .entry-navigation --><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">The EP had seen a few of Jeff\u2019s earlier work, together with <em>Unorthodox<\/em>. \u201cI think that\u2019s the beauty of Jeff in a way.

He continued, \u201cIt could be Judaism. It could be any religion. It could be any belief system really that one has that\u2019s greater than oneself. So when Avi looks at the world, he tries to put himself in another character\u2019s shoes. That\u2019s what makes him a great detective. He tries to empathize with them. He rarely is going to resort to violence. He first and foremost, even to a detriment, is going to try to use his compassion to open doors rather than force.
