“There weren’t enough dramas that were taking people of color seriously,” Thomas said, recalling what he saw on TV while growing up in the 1970s and 1980s.On a Santa Clarita soundstage, a team leader thanks his crew for all their hard work during a scene for the new iteration of “S.W.A.T.,” which premieres Thursday on CBS.
