As previously reported, former General Hospital star Sebastian Roché has landed the role of a major villain on Fringe.
We can now confirm the dangerous character he'll be portraying: Roché will simply be known as The Leader, a mysterious humanoid soldier from another universe whose goal is to gather information about Olivia - and, possibly, start a war.
That can't be good.
Roché was recently seen on the short-lived CW series The Beautiful Life and on the previous season of 24.
