Peter Facinelli

Supergirl may have debuted to less fanfare than her Comic-Con 2015 brethren, but Kara Zor-El has a world of work ahead of her October premiere. Not only has Twilight alum Peter Facinelli been cast in the role of DC villain Maxwell Lord, but so too will Supergirl find herself contending with the likes of Livewire and Reactron when new series premieres.

All year long we've seen FOX continue its commitment to "event" series like '24: Live Another Day' and 'Wayward Pines, but its latest is straight out of the headlines. The network has begun development of 'Street Soldier,' tasking 'Twilight' and recent 'Glee' star Peter Facinelli to portray the right-hand man of infamous real-life New England crime boss Whitey Bulger.
