lennie james joining lie to meJust read this on the Ausiello Files (BTW: The best blog about TV Shows)

Jericho’s Lennie James has snagged one of this fall’s most sought-after roles: Tim Roth’s Lie to Me nemesis, Ray Marsh.
The character, who will be introduced in this season’s fifth episode, is described as a charming Brit who ran scams with Lightman way back when and who is now on the FBI and Scotland Yard watch lists. Ray once took the fall for Lightman and spent time in prison as a result. Now, after a 20-year estrangement, Ray is back to collect what he believes he is owed.

This hit me sooooo good… I just can´t wait for Cal Lightman to come back. And on this new season of Lie to Me, we also will be especting the writers act on Cal Lightman and Gillian Foster budding romance. Aren´t we all?

But, getting back to the matter in subject. Why am I so thrilled about Lennie James joining Lie To Me to play Ray Marsh?

Well, let´s see, who is Lennie James?
