Reid may also become a series regular in the medical drama spinoff in development at the network. Playing the character of Dr. Hudson \"Hud\" Henshaw, Reid will portray a chief of emergency medicine at Edgewater Memorial Hospital, also known as \"Edge Med.\" The official character description paints Hud as charming, quick-witted, yet rough-around-the-edges, born and raised in Deadwater, a place known as the outlaw hinterland. Despite being born into a family of convicted felons, Hud refused to take their drug money for medical school. He is described as a passionate doctor who follows his oath to 'first do no harm,' yet isn't afraid to engage in a good bar fight. He is a deeply committed community member and a restless soul. \"Sheriff Country\" and \"Fire Country\" return with new seasons on Oct. 9 on CBS.",
