SMALLVILLE's Doomsday Sam Witwer Joins The Cast Of SUPERGIRL Season 4 As Agent Liberty
Following in the footsteps of fellow Smallville alums Erica Durance and Laura Vandervoort, Sam Witwer has now joined the cast of Supergirl season four in the series regular role of Agent Liberty.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Sam Witwer has joined the cast of the upcoming fourth season of Supergirl as a series regular.
Witwer will play the first live-action version of the DC Comics character Agent Liberty, who the CW describes as "the founder and figurehead of the Children of Liberty – a hate group that supports a human-first world order. Ruthless and terrifying, the scariest thing about Agent Liberty might be just how easily he can convince you that he’s in the right. He’s a brilliant orator in the guise of a family man." He'll presumably be one of the new season's primary antagonists alongside Red Son Supergirl (Melissa Benoist).
Considering that Kara and her friends at the DEO lean heavily toward human/alien integration, it's probably a safe bet that he'll be clashing with the Girl of Steel and company at more than one point during the coming season.
Witwer is, of course, best known for portraying Davis Bloome/Doomsday during the epic eighth season of Smallville. His past credits also include Being Human, Star Wars: Rebels, and Once Upon A Time. He's also the latest Smallville veteran to fly over to Supergirl, following Erica Durance (Lois Lane), who is expected to return in a recurring capacity as Alura Zor-El for Season 4, and Laura Vandervoort (Kara Zor-El/Supergirl), who appeared in Season 1.
As Superman’s cousin, Kara Danvers (aka Supergirl) balances her work as a reporter for CatCo Worldwide Media with her work for the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), a super-secret government organization whose mission is to keep National City – and the Earth – safe from sinister threats. At the DEO, Kara works for J’onn J’onzz, the Martian Manhunter, and alongside her sister, Alex, and best friend, Winn Schott. Also in Kara’s life are James Olsen, a photo journalist who moonlights as Guardian, a masked vigilante, Lena Luthor, and Mon-El of Daxam, whose planet was ravaged by Krypton’s destruction. In season three, Kara and team will come up against a new threat in the form of DC Worldkiller, Reign.
