Malik Yoba returns tonight as the powerful crime fighter Bill Harken in the season two premiere of Syfy’s Alphas. The actor, who also directed a few episodes of  show this season, spoke with BET about his character . “For me, as far as television and film go, this is one of the most complete characters I’ve played,” says Yoba. “I get to be funny, there’s action, which is a lot of fun, there’s a bit of romance on the show, too.”

Bill Harken is a former FBI agent who strictly adheres to procedure and protocol. He is also a hyperadrenal Alpha — an everyday person with a very special physical ability. Bill is able to summon amazing strength by consciously activating the “fight-or-flight” response. With a flood of adrenaline, pain receptors are subdued and for a short bursts of time, he experiences super human strength and a resistance to harm that borders on invulnerability.

Alphas premiers tonight, July 23 at 10/9c on Syfy.
