As HBO's Boardwalk Empire's final season is underway, one of the principal stars of the series has lined up his next gig, and it's a doozy. Deadline report that Shea Whigham (who plays Eli Thompson in the show) has signed on to star as the male lead in Marvel's Agent Carter. According to them he'll play the "tough but fair-minded SSR Chief Roger Dooley, the man who will oversee Agents Carter (Atwell), Thompson (Chad Michael Murray) and Sousa (Enver Gjokaj)." Dooley was a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent in the Marvel Comics, but took on a villainous role. Fans of another excellent HBO's series, True Detective, may recognize Whigham as the haunted, chain smoking preacher who's questioned by Matthew McConaughey's character on a couple of occasions. He also had a small role in American Hustle.
