Marvel have announced that Edward James Olmos has joined the cast of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as "Robert Gonzales". I've checked, and there doesn't appear to be any comic book characters of that name, but his debut when the series returns in March will apparently have massive repercussions for Director Coulson and his team. "Edward James Olmos brings an amazing gravitas to any role he inhabits, something we knew we needed for Robert Gonzales," said Executive Producer and Marvel’s Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb in a statement released today. "When Olmos first appears on our series, everyone will have to take notice--including our favorite Agents." Intriguing, eh? Olmos is best known for roles in Battlestar Galactica, Blade Runner, and Miami Vice, and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role with Stand and Deliver.

The 4th season with the Trinity Killer (played by John Litgow) was the best season!!!

I think it would be seriously cool if they started teasing the presence of the real Mandarin on this... if the theory was right, and he was one of the *heads* of Hydra

@BackwardGalaxy Yeah I mean Agents of SHIELD is so sexist. They only have Skye, May, Mockingbird and Simmons on their main cast. That's hardly anybody! (Sarcasm)

This is fantastic news. Olmos is an amazing actor. He was great on Dexter, which HAD NO BAD SEASONS!

Sorry for yelling, but Dexter is easily my favourite TV show of all time. First season was the best though. Ice Truck Killer was the best storyline on the show. But Trinity comes in a close second place.

Nice, Olmos was so badass in Battlestar. Him and Col Tigh were my favorite parts of the show... oh and Baltar. Get those two other guys some jobs in comicbook movie/tv

Sadly I do. It's from Selena. My mother used to make me watch it when I was a kid. Jennifer Lopez was pretty fine in that movie though.
