Three Rivers Cast Takes Organ Donation to Heart

CBS’ new organ transplant drama, Three Rivers, has made organ donors of its stars. Most of them, anyway.

Castmates Alex O’Loughlin (Moonlight), Alfre Woodard (St. Elsewhere), Justina Machado (Six Feet Under) and other series regulars addressed the issue during a set visit as part of the Television Critics Association fall press tour.

O’Loughlin said he’s been a donor since his teenage years.

“It just seemed like the cool thing to do,” he joked, before adding, “I don’t need it anymore, and I don’t have any religious beliefs or anything that keep me from doing it.”

The show, debuting Sunday, Oct. 4 at 9/8c, follows the stories of the doctors, donors and recipients in a Pittsburgh transplant hospital. (The title refers to the city’s three rivers and the three converging stories.)
