Emmy Award winner Beau Bridges and New York Giants PRO BOWL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will guest star in the CBS medical drama CODE BLACK tonight, Feb. 10. In the episode, Bridges will appear as Pete Delaney, Beckham's HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL coach, and Beckham will play himself. Bridges' daughter, Emily Bridges, will also guest star, portraying Delaney's daughter, Mia.

While headed to a Valentine's Day charity luncheon where Beckham is being honored, Pete suffers severe abdominal pain and his concerned daughter, Mia, brings him to Angels Memorial Hospital.

Beckham is a wide receiver for the New York Giants. In 2014, Beckham had the greatest season by a rookie wide receiver in NFL history, despite playing only 12 games. His season totals of 91 catches for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns are all franchise rookie records. Also, he was the franchise's first Rookie of the Year since 1981 and the first wide receiver to be named Offensive Rookie of the Year since 2009. Beckham was named the Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year, the first Giants player to be honored in the 58-year history of the award. Following the 2014 season, Beckham was the Giants' lone representative in the PRO BOWL and was the team's first wide receiver in the game since 2012, and the first Giants rookie wide receiver ever selected to the Pro Bowl. Beckham provided the NFL season's most spectacular moment with his now-famous leaping one-handed touchdown catch against Dallas on Nov. 23, 2015 which made him a national sensation. The incredible catch was selected as the Bridgestone Performance Play of the Year from 20 moments voted on by NFL fans. As an NFL sophomore in 2015, Beckham validated his standing as one of the NFL's very best receivers. Beckham set an NFL record for most receiving yards (2,755) by a player in the first two seasons of a career. Beckham finished the season with 96 receptions for 1,450 yards, both the second-highest totals in Giants history. Beckham's 13 touchdowns in 2015 tied Homer Jones (1967) for the Giants single-season record. Beckham was selected to play in the PRO BOWL for the second time in as many seasons.

CODE BLACK stars Marcia Gay Harden, Bonnie Somerville, Raza Jaffrey, Luis Guzmán, Melanie Chandra, Harry Ford, Benjamin Hollingsworth and William Allen Young.
