Eric plays Matthew Ramati, the heroic firefighter who struggles to share his ALS diagnosis with his family.
Mädchen Amick is Alicia Ramati, a strong-willed woman who wears her emotions on her sleeve, especially when it comes to her firefighting ex-husband, Matthew (Dane). She’s not afraid to state her opinion and care for the ones she loves.
Inspired by world-famous author and neurologist Oliver Sacks, season two of Brilliant Minds continues to follow Dr. Wolf and his team at Bronx General as they delve into medical mysteries of the mind. Ultimately, they come face-to-face with the question: Who deserves care?
