Jane Badler isn't the only former V cast member set to play a key role on this ABC reboot.

When V returns on January 4, viewers will meet Lars Tremont, a character played by Marc Singer, who took on the role of freedom fighter Mike Donovan in the 1980s version of this series.

"He's the leader of this massive [government-funded] military group called The Aries Project," which is preparing for a Visitor attack, producer Scott Rosenbaum told TV Guide. "They're not a rag-tag [organization]; they're the real deal."
