F. Murray Abraham Cast in Key Homeland Role

An Oscar winner is coming to Homeland.

As first reported by Entertainment Weekly, F. Murray Abraham will recur on the Showtime drama this fall, coming on board later in the season in the role of Dar Adul.

The character is described as “a brilliant intelligence operative in his 60-70’s," who has "worked all over the world for the Special Activities Division of the CIA.” Sounds like he might have some advice for Carrie.

Homeland Season 2 will find Brody in D.C. and Carrie working as a professor when we meet up with the series again on September 30. Don't miss the premiere. It's terrific.
