According to Deadline, Laz Alonso (NBC’s The Mysteries of Laura) has been cast in Amazon’s straight-to-series adaptation of Garth Ennis' controversial comic series, The Boys.

Alonso will play Mother's Milk, who is Billy Butcher's second-in-command. This incarnation of the character is described as, "a great detective, highly intelligent and observant and an intuitive investigator."

Milk is the first member of The Boys to be cast, but the actors that will play the team's "superhero" enemies The Seven were previously announced.

The Boys hails from Sony Pictures TV Studios, which will co-produce with Amazon, and Neal H. Moritz’s studio-based Original Films.

Solid actor! When Idris Elba is too expensive then he is your man. I need to research this series since I know absolutely nothing about.

THE BOYS



The Boys is set in a world where superheroes exist. However, most of the superheroes in the series' universe are corrupted by their celebrity status and often engage in reckless behavior, compromising the safety of the world. For this reason, a superpowered CIA squad, known informally as "The Boys", is charged with monitoring the superhero community; the name is Butcher's contribution, a reference from his neighborhood that those in power would send "the boys" to handle anyone causing trouble.

@Forthas @CaptShipwreck - How have you guys not read this adult comic book it's messed up but worth the read. Probably falls in line with Snyder taste's if he would have made it.

He’d make a decent John Stewart too, intrigued by this series.

Was checking out the cast list on IMDB and Anthony Starr is no longer listed as the Homelander.....I think he's Butcher. Which would make a much better physical fit....although saying that they've made Black Noir black...which is ridiculous for story purposes...so we'll see......

@CLTMAN29 - I think he definitely fits more as the butcher, also very odd about that Black Noir thing without getting too spoilery
