Agent Carter\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Season 2\u00a0is getting bigger still with the news of a brand new cast member. Marvel.com<\/a> has announced that Resurrection<\/strong> <\/em>and That ’70s Show<\/strong><\/em> star Kurtwood Smith will be taking on the role of Vernon Masters, a “veteran of the War Department with a keen understanding of how to work the system”. Sounds promising.<\/p>\n

In a Marvel statement, executive producers Tara Butters, Chris Dingess and Michele Fazekas said: “We had the pleasure of working with Kurtwood on both Resurrection<\/strong><\/em> and Chaos<\/strong><\/em>, and were well aware of what a commanding presence he is. So when we were developing the character of Vernon Masters, we wrote it with him in mind.\u00a0 We just never thought we could actually get him.\u00a0 Thankfully, we were wrong.”<\/p>\n

That type of range makes him a perfect addition to our cast for Peggy\u2019s second thrilling solo adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n
