Explosion general manager, William Taylor, is set to guest star on an upcoming episode of the CBS original series, Watson, starring Morris Chestnut.

William is set to play Trey Snuggs, a former friend of Chestnut's character, Watson, who is described as being the only person who has ever been able to get one-up on Watson.

William recently stated in an interview that he was shocked to receive a call from Morris Chestnut himself, asking him personally to play the role, which William graciously accepted.

Morris Chestnut stated recently, when asked if this was a one-off appearance, that "he hopes not", adding "he enjoyed playing opposite William, enjoyed his professionalism and personality". Morris called William a good friend, saying that after seeing his performance, he'd "have him back on set, anytime".

William's episode of Watson is set to be the mid-season premiere, airing on Sunday, March 1, at 10/9 c, on CBS.
