Asheville High grads from the late 1990's may spot a familiar face in "When They See Us."

Asheville's own Chris Chalk plays the grown-up version of Yusef Salaam, one of five teenagers wrongly convicted of the 1989 rape of a jogger in New York City's Central Park, in the Netflix miniseries. Below is a GIF showing Chalk and his co-star Ethan Herisse, who plays Salaam as a young man.

Chalk graduated from Asheville High in 1996 — that year's edition of "Paw Prints" yearbook lists him as a member of the Drama Club. He was also active in school leadership and served as student body president, according to Chalk. He's a proud UNC Greensboro alum and visits campus regularly to interact with theater students.

Those of us who don't recognize Chalk from our Cougar days may remember him as Clemens in Oscar-winning "12 Years a Slave" or Lucius Fox on "Gotham." Chalk also shared the stage with Denzel Washington and Viola Davis in the Tony Award-winning Broadway play "Fences."

Other major acting credits include "Homeland," "Detroit," and "The Good Wife, and according to imdb, Chalk's trying his luck on the other side of the camera as well — "Farewell," a feature film Chalk wrote, produced, and directed, is currently in post-production (not to be confused with "The Farewell," starring Awkwafina).
