Garret Dillahunt cast as Roderick Campbell in Fox’s THE GIFTED.

Deadline reports that Garret Dillahunt (Raising Hope) has been cast in a recurring role as Roderick Campbell in Fox’s THE GIFTED series.

The character will be portrayed as a “mutant researcher contracted by the Sentinel Services. Professorial, intense and intimidating, Dr. Campbell has a morally dubious mission yet to be revealed.”

In the comics, he’s a Muir Island psychologist who discovers that an alternate reality version of himself exists. Called Ahab, he becomes the leader of the government-sanctioned Hound program, commissioned to track down and capture mutants for internment.

“The Gifted” premieres October 2 on Fox at 9pm/8c.
