Who will Taran Killam play in High Potential? (Get the details)

As a devoted fan of gripping crime dramas and witty comedies, I must say that “High Potential” has truly stolen my heart! Kaitlin Olson’s portrayal of Morgan, the unassuming yet brilliant mom with an eidetic memory, is nothing short of captivating. Her journey from a night-time cleaning lady to a crime-solving consultant is not only entertaining but also inspiring.


In the fresh series titled “High Potential“, the character portrayed by Kaitlin Olson, named Morgan, is a mother of three who possesses an extraordinary knack for noticing and retaining even the tiniest details. Although she initially worked as a night-time cleaner in the police department, her hidden talent comes to light, leading her to aid in solving a case, albeit reluctantly. The audience gets their first glimpse of Morgan’s abilities when she accidentally knocks over some notes and crime scene photos. As she arranges them, it becomes apparent that the police have been pursuing the wrong lead, as Morgan correctly deduces the incorrect direction they were headed in.

In the series ‘High Potential’, it’s through her collaboration with veteran detective Karadec (portrayed by Daniel Sunjata), that she manages to solve a case. Unforeseen to her, this assistance leads to her being offered a paid consulting role. The unconventional bond between Morgan and the rule-abiding Karadec is undeniably one of the most enjoyable aspects of the show.

Indeed, the series is filled with comedic elements, and it’s often Morgan who solves the cases. I wonder what the case clearance rate was at this precinct prior to her joining as a consultant? Over time, Morgan and Karadec developed a smooth working dynamic.

What High Potential role will Taran Killam play?

As reported by Deadline, Taran Killam plays the recurring character of Ludo in High Potential. Ludo is the ex of Morgan, and father to Chloe and Elliott. He is affectionate, funny, and a dedicated father to his children. Since Morgan now works as a consultant for the police, Ludo must take care of his kids along with Morgan’s daughter, Ava. It appears that Ludo still harbors feelings for Morgan, and there’s hope that their chemistry might ignite again.

For six seasons, Taran lent his talent to Saturday Night Live, and he also graced our screens with his presence in American Crime Story: Impeachment and Single Parents on television. On the big screen, you might recognize him from The River Wild, The Heat, Killing Gunther, and the upcoming Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. I’m eager to learn more about Ludo and the circumstances that led to his separation with Morgan.

High Potential airs on Tuesdays at 10/9c on ABC. It streams the following day on Hulu.
