This might be the most exciting piece of casting news yet for the new season:

Ray Wise is coming aboard Dollhouse in the potentially recurring role of Howard, an intelligent higher-up in the organization. Entertainment Weekly was the first to report the news.

We loved the veteran actor during his two-year stint as Lucifer on The CW’s Reaper. He's still best known, of course, for his long-ago role on Twin Peaks.

Dollhouse premieres its second season on September 25. Wise joins an impressive list of guest stars that includes: Jamie Bamber, Keith Carradine, Alexis Denisoff, and Summer Glau.
