DOOM PATROL Finds Its Chief In Former 007 Star Timothy Dalton
The DC Universe's Doom Patrol series is really rounding up quite the cast and now they've found their Dr. Niles Caulder, a.k.a. The Chief, in former James Bond star Timothy Dalton (Chuck; Penny Dreadful)!
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Timothy Dalton has been cast in the series regular role of Dr. Niles Caulder, a.k.a. The Chief, in the DC Universe's upcoming Doom Patrol series. His leading role is being described as "a pioneer in medical science, searching the world over for those on the edge of death in need of a miracle. Brilliant but controversial, Dr. Caulder will stop at nothing to help those he believes are in need, including his collection of strange heroes known as the Doom Patrol."
He joins an ensemble cast that features Brendan Fraser (Robotman), Dwain Murphy (Negative Man), April Bowlby (Elasti-Woman), Diane Guerrero (Crazy Jane), Joivan Wade (Cyborg), and Alan Tudyk (Mr. Nobody).
While the DC Universe streaming service will launch later this month, followed by the series premiere of Titans in mid-October, Doom Patrol has been slated to premiere in 2019 with a 13-episode freshman run.
Dalton is, of course, best known for portraying 007 James Bond in The Living Daylights and License to Kill. His past television credits include, but are not limited to, Chuck and Penny Dreadful.
