The latest episode of the crime drama High Potential included a tribute to Matthew Gonzalez, a young actor who recently died at the age of 27. The title card appeared at the end of Season 2, episode 17, titled 'Second Sunday', before the credits rolled.
Matthew Gonzalez is not listed as a member of the cast or crew in any episode of High Potential, according to IMDB. However, he is believed to have been known to those working on the show or the ABC network, which airs the series in the US, and is described as part of the 'High Potential family'.
Reports indicate that Gonzalez was a budding actor who mentored other young actors and worked to increase diversity within the television industry. His obituary is quoted as saying: 'Beyond his talent, Matthew will be remembered for his spirit... Those who knew him personally speak of his kindness, his ambition, and his ability to uplift others even as he worked tirelessly toward his dreams.'
The ABC network has not yet officially commented on the tribute. High Potential is currently streaming its second season on Disney+, with new episodes released each Wednesday.
