Everybody Hates Chris is an iconic American sitcom that had plenty of cameos from veteran actors. In the sitcom, legendary actor T.K. Carter had a brief role as Councilman Johnson in one episode of Everybody Hates Chris.
Carter appeared in the Season 3 episode titled “Everybody Hates the Bed-Stuy” back in 2007. In the episode, Councilman Johnson is a local politician whom Chris’s mother, Rochelle, tries to impress or navigate around while dealing with neighborhood issues and her own high standards.
The role is largely forgettable because Councilman Johnson was a one-off character in a show that was largely filled with memorable guest stars.
