LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Jennifer Garner's "Alias" character, Sydney Bristow, is getting a new villain to deal with, played by Djimon Hounsou.
Hounsou ("Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life") is joining the cast of Garner vehicle "Alias" in a recurring role as a big-time villain, Daily Variety says. He'll play the head of an evil new criminal organization that the CIA will attempt to take down.
Honsou will appear in at least two episodes of the Touchstone-produced ABC drama, with an option to return for more segments depending on plot twists.
In addition to "Tomb Raider," Honsou's feature credits include "Gladiator" and "Amistad." He snagged a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in the latter picture. He'll next be seen in director Jim Sheridan's upcoming drama, "In America."
