Cameron Daddo Cast as POTUS on Nikita

Following a tense confrontation between Nikita and Amanda, Nikita is on hiatus until April 20.

But producers are at least giving viewers plenty to ponder, as Cameron Daddo (guest roles on The Mentalist, NCIS, Leverage) as President of the United States Charles Grayson. TV Line reports that Daddo will debut on episode 22, "Crossbow."

As for the return episode, it will be titled "Wrath," it's previewed above and this is the official CW synopsis for what's to come:

When Nikita worked for Division, she targeted a man named Nicholas Brandt and infiltrated his inner circle. She captured him and he’s been behind bars ever since. However, Percy springs Brant, and his first mission is to capture Nikita for payback.

After he has her in his clutches, he tortures her, forcing Nikita to face a side of herself she thought she had long buried. Meanwhile, Percy continues to play mind games with Michael, Alex and Sean, pushing one of them to the brink of death.
