With less than two weeks to go until the sixth and final season premiere of Supergirl, Deadline is reporting that The CW has cast Jason Behr (Roswell; The Grudge; Roswell, New Mexico) and Claude Knowlton (American Crime Story; Supernatural; New Girl) in key recurring roles.
Behr will play a famous or noted Kryptonian who plays a significant role in helping Kara when she faces circumstances beyond her control. However, his name is being kept under wraps. Meanwhile, Knowlton will play a mild-mannered alien whose tragic past allows him to help Kara and her friends with their final mission.
The March 30 season premiere will pick up shortly after the events of last season's finale, with Brainiac (Jesse Rath) on the verge of death after his sacrifice to stop Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer). With the situation more dire than ever, Kara (Melissa Benoist) will need all the help she can get before Lex achieves global domination.
