Moe Bar-El has been cast in Noah Hawley's upcoming Alien TV series for FX! According to Deadline the actor has been tapped for an undisclosed role as character information is being kept tightly under wraps.
The actor joins a cast that includes Sydney Chandler as the meta-human Wendy, Alex Lawther as soldier CJ, Samuel Blenkin as Boy Kavalier, a CEO, Essie Davis as Dame Silvia, Adarsh Gourav as Slightly, Kit Young as Tootles, and David Rysdahl in an undisclosed role. Also aboard is Timothy Olyphant, and while his role has not yet been confirmed, Deadline hears he’ll be playing Kirsh, a synth who acts as a mentor and trainer for Wendy, a character with the body of an adult, but the brain and consciousness of a child.
