One of the best actors on television is up for a role in Starz’ Torchwood coming next summer. Enver Gjokaj (Stone, Lie to Me; pictured above), who impressed many with his range of acting skill in playing many different characters (aka imprints of different personalities) on Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, is “eyeing the role” of a new character, Rex Matheson. Rex is a “sharp-as-nails, funny-as-hell, tough-as-rawhide CIA agent who cares less about making a good impression than he does making a lasting one.”

CW alum Chad Michael Murray (Lies In Plain Sight, One Tree Hill; pictured above) is also vying for the part.

Another new character is Esther Katusi, a “CIA Watch Analyst who against all odds, has both an unshakable faith in human nature and a monster crush on Rex.” Word is that Amber Stevens (Greek; pictured above) is the “frontrunner for this part.”
