Is this the face of Fringe's new supervillain?
Fox's Fringe doesn't air tonight because of baseball, but to keep us warm, we got a bit of casting news and a tantalizing hint about an upcoming story point. (Spoilers ahead!)
The Hollywood Reporter is saying that Sebastian Roche will join the cast as a recurring new villain.
The tantalizing bit: The paper says that he will play a soldier from another dimension and that he's stepping in for Thomas Kretschmann, who was originally cast as the character and was supposed to appear in the Oct. 8 episode, "Momentum Deferred," but wasn't able to return.
Here's the thing: Kretschmann wasn't listed in the credits for the episode. So are we to think he was the headless leader of the super-soldiers who was being activated at the very end of the episode? FWIW, the face of the head that was being attached did look an awful lot like Sebastian Roche.
New episodes of Fringe return in November.

Sebastian Roche is included in the credits for "Momentum Deferred" on IMDB.com as "Leader." I'd say that confirms your suspicions.

Ahh, Kirk Mendel from the short lived Showtime series "Odyssey 5".
Never watch the show on SyFy, to many edits make you go crazy!

You know what I hate? The fake word "Frak" from BSG. That has to be one of the most annoying words ever created and to think it actually became popular. Why?

I always loved every second he was on screen on GH. But always thought in the back of my mind that he was way too good to be GH. Can't wait to see him on Fringe.
