Breaking news this evening. Actor Jon Cryer (Two And A Half Men) has been cast as Lex Luthor on Supergirl.
We brought you the news last month that Lex Luthor would be appearing on the show later in season 4. We now know that Cryer will have a recurring role beginning from the 15th episode.
“We are enormous fans of Jon Cryer, and he was instantly our dream actor to play the iconic role of Lex Luthor,” Supergirl exec producers Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller said in a joint statement Friday. “Jon is a super-talent, and the fact that he played Lenny Luthor in Superman IV brings an added layer of legacy to his casting. We’re beyond thrilled to welcome Jon to the Supergirl family.”
Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist, David Harewood, Mehcad Brooks and Chyler Leigh. The series airs on The CW in North America, Sundays at 8/7c.
