Get to Know '4400' Actor Derrick A. King with These 10 Fun Facts (Exclusive)

Derrick A. King is one of the breakout stars of the new CW series 4400 and we caught up with him to learn some things that fans might not know already!

The Maryland native, who now resides in Los Angeles, has previously been seen in ITN’s Ouija House and BET’s Her Only Choice.

Here’s the synopsis for 4400: “Over the last century at least four thousand four hundred people who were overlooked, undervalued or otherwise marginalized vanished without a trace off the face of the planet. Last night, inexplicably, they were all returned in an instant to Detroit having not aged a day and with no memory of what happened to them.”
