“Flashdance” alum Jennifer Beals is dancing her way to DC.
DC Universe’s “Swamp Thing” series has tapped the actress to play the recurring guest role of Sheriff Lucilia Cable. Described as tough as nails and pragmatic, Cable’s fierce devotion to her son, Matt, is rivaled only by her sworn duty to serve and protect the town of Marais. As the community she has dedicated her life to defending is beset by strange forces, she must double down in her efforts to safeguard everyone she holds dear.
Beals, though best known for playing the lead in the abovesaid 1982 classic, recently joined the cast of “After”, based on Anna Todd’s bestselling YA novels. Her other credits include “Taken”, “The Last Tycoon”, “Proof” and “The L Word”.
