Robert Maillet Joins The Cast Of Guillermo del Toro's THE STRAIN As 'The Master'
Guillermo del Toro's FX pilot The Strain has found its main villain in the form of WWE wrestler turned actor Robert Maillet (Pacific Rim).
The Wrap reports that Robert Maillet has joined the cast of The Strain as 'The Master'; an ancient vampire who is described as an, "evil that has nested in secret and darkness, feasting on human suffering until now, emerging from the shadows to force a new world order." Maillet was once best known as 'Kurrgan the Interrogator' in the WWE in the late 90's, although his acting credits now include the likes of Pacific Rim, Sherlock Holmes and 300. He joins an impressive cast which includes Corey Stoll, John Hurt, Kevin Durand, Mía Maestro, Sean Astin and Doug Jones. The series has a pilot order (which will be helmed by the Pacific Rim director) but is being eyed for a full 13-episode pickup according to various outlets. What do you guys think of the cast?
