Forest Whitaker is taking over for Andre Braugher for a multiepisode arc of "ER" that begins October 19.
Braugher, an NBC veteran from his days on "Homicide: Life on the Street," was supposed to play a patient who enters the hospital with a seemingly innocent cough but suffers a stroke while waiting to be treated. He'll be heading to the bigscreen instead, co-starring in the Fox sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer, which is in pre-production.
Whitaker is currently co-starring on FX cop series "The Shield" and plays Uganda dictator Idi Amin in Fox Searchlight's The Last Kind of Scotland, to be released Sept. 27.
