SGU‘s Robert Knepper Lands Roles On The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Arrow
Thursday - December 12, 2013 |
He was the sinister and extremely dangerous Lucian Alliance soldier Simeon[1] on Stargate Universe — not to mention Prison Break‘s “T-Bag,” the role that made him famous. Now actor Robert Knepper has landed a pair of major roles — one on the small screen, and one on the big.
Lionsgate announced today that Knepper will appear in the final two films in the Hunger Games saga, Mockingjay – Parts 1 and 2 . He’ll play President Snow’s minister, Antonius. (The character is not in Suzanne Collins’ novels, according to Variety[2] .)
Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss), Josh Hutcherson (Peeta), and Donald Sutherland (Snow) reprise their roles in the final two films, along with newcomers including Julianne Moore as Alma Coin, and Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones [3] ) as Cressida.
The two Mockingjay films are being shot back-to-back in Atlanta, and will hit theaters in November 2014 and November 2015.
On television, Knepper has also just been cast as a DC villain in an upcoming episode of Arrow [4] . He will play the criminal mastermind William Tockman — a.k.a. the “Clock King,” TV Line[5] reports.
His guest role will be in episode 14 of the current season, so look for it in early 2014 on The CW. Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8/7c, with new episodes resuming January 15.
