As previously reported, Timothy Dalton will come on board Chuck later this season in a mysterious role.

Now, Entertainment Weekly has shed just a little bit of light on this character, revealing the first image of Dalton on the show's November 1 episode and revealing he'll share history with Chuck's mom.

“It’s not the kind of character you’d [expect] him to play,” creator Josh Schwartz says of the man who portrayed James Bond. “There’s nothing suave or debonair about him.”

Sounds like these two have something common...
