'Riverdale' Actor Henderson Wade Boards DC Universe's 'Swamp Thing'
Fresh off of adding Andy Bean and Derek Mears, the "Swamp Thing" cast has grown again.
"Riverdale" actor Henderson Wade will play Matt Cable in the upcoming series on Warner Bros.'s new streaming service, DC Universe, Deadline reports. He'll have a somewhat similar role, as the publication pointed out; Cable is another law enforcement officer, like Wade's "Riverdale" character, Sheriff Michael Minetta.
Both TV series may involve lawmen, but their problems are very different. In "Swamp Thing," there will be a mysterious monster at the center of the story. The DC Comics-inspired story follows Abby Arcane (Crystal Reed) as she digs into a mystery involving a Louisiana swap, a scientist doing work there, Alec Holland (Bean), and a "swamp thing" (Mears). In the comics, Matt Cable is assigned to protect Holland, as Deadline reports, and he had a crush on Arcane when they were kids.
In addition to appearing in Season 2 and 3 of "Riverdale," Wade has also had roles on "Extant," "American Horror Story: Roanoke," "NCIS," and more. "Swamp Thing" should keep him busy for at least a while. The series is expected to premiere in 2019.
