FlashForward

As we inch closer to the FlashForward series premiere on September 24, ABC isn't revealing much about this new series.

Like Lost, the network is choosing to maintain a cloak of mystery about the upcoming drama.

But we can report that a casting notice has gone out for the role of "Gary," a character that will debut on the first season's eighth episode. Here's how ABC describes him:

40s, Caucasian. Hard, aggressive. A middle-management guy, he's committed to doing whatever the higher-ups need, even if it takes him into morally questionable territory. Please note in current script this is a Non-Speaking role, but with the strong possibility of returning in future episodes.

A non-speaking, prominent role? Sounds like Gary will serve as some sort of bodyguard or security person.
