If you weren’t familiar with former The Wire, All My Children and Friday Night Lights star Michael B. Jordan before he debuted on NBC’s Parenthood, plan on seeing a lot more of him this fall. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jordan has signed on the dotted line to recur as Alex during Parenthood’s upcoming third season.

“I love the show and working with NBC and there’s not a reason for me not to come back,” Jordan told The Hollywood Reporter. “I love working with Peter [Krause], Sarah and Monica [Potter]; it’s like being in another family environment that’s very similar to Friday Night Lights.
 

Jordan’s character Alex dates Adam (Peter Krause) and Kristina’s (Monica Potter) daughter Haddie (Sarah Ramos). In one memorable episode last season, Haddie accidently dialed her parent’s phone while making out with Alex. Let’s just say they didn’t take the incident well.

Michael B. Jordan's career has come a long ways since his early acting gigs on HBO’s The Wire and ABC’s All My Children. He currently appears on NBC’s family drama Parenthood and is must see on the upcoming broadcast run of Friday Night Lights. During an interview with WTAM 1100 Cleveland, Jordan was asked how he felt about the All My Children cancellation rumors.

IHR: You got your start on (ABC soap) All My Children, and lately there's been talk that the show may be canceled. How do you feel about that?

Michael: It's dear to my heart because that's where I kind of got my chops from, so it's a little sad to see it go, but I'm all about evolution and change. There was an era for soap operas, and there was a time when soap operas were the thing to watch. But, seeing how reality TV is taking over that time slot, it's kind of like pushing them out like, 'Hey, old guys, it's over for you.' I'm sad, but at the same time I'm privileged to see a new era coming about. Still, if I was on a soap, I'd be pissed!

Friday Night Lights returns to NBC for its final broadcast season April 15.
