Marc Singer to Resurface on V

V really is going all out for season two.

The much-maligned ABC series has cast mini-series star Jane Badler in the key role of Anna's mother, and has also promised to up the action quotient a lot once the new season premieres on January 4.

Now, V has dipped into its past once again.

Marc Singer, who played freedom fighter Mike Donovan in the 1980s version of this show, has been cast as a character named Lars Tremont.

Look for him to be a member of a secret organization, one comprised of high-ranking military and government leaders from around the world, all of whom have long been wary of the Visitors' intentions.

To many, Singer will always be known best for his role in the 1982 movie The Beastmaster. He also starred in a small screen spin-off of the same name.
