\"Rob<\/a><\/p>\n

Marvel Entertainment has recently announced six supporting cast members that will appear in \u201cMarvel\u2019s Daredevil\u201d<\/strong> on Netflix.<\/p>\n

Rob Morgan<\/strong> (\u201cPerson of Interest,\u201d \u201cBelieve\u201d) will play Turk Barrett, a smalltime criminal in Hell\u2019s Kitchen who has previously stolen the armor of other supervillains (such as Stilt-Man and Maulred) to fight with Daredvil. Matt Gerald<\/strong> (\u201cAvatar,\u201d \u201cDexter\u201d) will play Melvin Potter (aka the villain Gladiator), a machinist caught between a rock and a hard place. Interesting enough, Gerald also had a villain role in a previous Marvel effort as \u201cWhite Power Dave\u201d in the \u201cAll Hail the King\u201d One-Shot.<\/p>\n

Also,\u00a0Peter Shinkoda <\/strong>(\u201cFalling Skies,\u201d \u201cHawaii 5-0\u201d) as Nobu, a Japanese businessman with an agenda all his own; Wai Ching Ho <\/strong>(\u201cLaw and Order: Special Victims Unit,\u201d \u201cBlue Bloods\u201d) as Madame Gao, a powerful woman running her own trade; and Nikolai Nikolaeff <\/strong>(\u201cCamp,\u201d \u201cSea Patrol\u201d) and Gideon Emery <\/strong>(\u201cGrimm,\u201d \u201cHow to Train Your Dragon 2\u201d) as Vladimir and Anatoly, two Russian brothers looking to forge new names for themselves in America.<\/p>\n

\"Daredevil<\/a>\u201cWith an already tremendous cast, these six actors help to fully flesh out Matt Murdock\u2019s world and give life to Hell\u2019s Kitchen,\u201d<\/strong> said Executive Producer\/Marvel\u2019s Head of Television Jeph Loeb. \u201cWe\u2019ve been blessed to work with such amazing actors on this series to create a truly remarkable first season.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to be working with such a talented and diverse group of artists who vividly bring these characters to life,\u201d<\/strong> said Executive Producer and Showrunner Steven S. DeKnight. \u201cThe challenge in bringing \u2018villains\u2019 to the screen is always in portraying them as three-dimensional characters. Our actors exceeded all expectations in this regard, crafting deeply flawed, wonderfully human antagonists.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Daredevil<\/a><\/p>\n

Produced by Marvel Television and ABC Studios, with executive producers Steven S. DeKnight<\/strong> (\u201cSpartacus\u201d), Jeph Loeb<\/strong> (\u201cMarvel\u2019s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.\u201d) and Drew Goddard<\/strong> (The Cabin in the Woods), the series stars Charlie Cox<\/strong> (Matt Murdock), Deborah Ann Woll<\/strong> (Karen Page), Elden Henson<\/strong> (Foggy Nelson), Rosario Dawson<\/strong> (Claire Temple), Bob Gunton<\/strong> (Leland Owlsely aka The Owl), Scott Glenn<\/strong> (Stick), <\/strong>Vondie Curtis Hall<\/strong> (Ben Urich), Toby Leonard Moore<\/strong> (Wesley, Wilson Fisk\u2019s right hand man), Ayelet Zurer<\/strong> (Vanessa Fisk), and Vincent D\u2019Onofrio<\/strong> (Wilson Fisk).<\/p>\n

An actor with many film credits, Morgan is best known for his roles in Pariah<\/strong> (2011), Full Circle<\/strong> (2013) and The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
