David Richmond-Peck, recently seen opposite Keanu Reeves in “The Day the Earth Stood Still”, has joined the cast of ABC’s “V”.

The actor will play the recurring role of George, “A man with a mysterious past…An intense, edgy, mysterious Resistance leader, with a powerful speaking voice, who drags old friend Ryan back into their old life”.

Richmond-Peck is currently playing a lead role in Universal’s “Smokin Aces : Blowback” for director P.J Pesce.

The series, based on the classic NBC series staring Marc Singer, stars Scott Wolf as a newscaster who sees the alien landing as the ticket to stardom and soon becomes the visitors’ mouthpiece.
