Seeing as it’s been shooting for quite a while now, you’d think it’d be a litttle late for X-Men: First Class to be adding new cast members, but it’s been revealed that Ray Wise will be heading to the set to play a government official in the movie.
Wise, best known for Robocop, Twin Peaks and the more recent Reaper (among many, many, other roles), told IGN, Im playing the Secretary of State of the United States [in X-Men: First Class]. Ill be going over there in the next couple of weeks,
It certainly doesn’t sound like Wise has a particularly big role, although he did say his scenes may “touch on” the special effects side of the movie. He’s a great actor and a welcome sight in anything, so joining First Class can only be a good thing.
