David Conrad Joins Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Actor David Conrad is about to begin spending time with the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TVLine's Michael Ausiello broke the news that Conrad, best known for his role as Jennifer Love Hewitt's husband on Ghost Whisperer, will be playing a recurring role on the new ABC series, which ties into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

There is no info on who Conrad is playing, which isn't surprising, given the secrecy around S.H.I.E.L.D., like all Marvel projects. However, Ausiello notes that there was recently a casting call for "the role of a brilliant and quirky scientist that matches Conrad’s description (i.e., male in his 40s)." The main characters on S.H.I.E.L.D., including Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) are all original ones not from the comic books, so it's just as possible Conrad is playing someone newly created as someone from Marvel.

When I spoke to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. co-creators/executive producers Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen at Comic-Con (see the video below), they talked about how they are finding opportunities when they come up with a new character to ask Marvel "Does someone in your universe have that skill?" and be able to use a pre-existing character. Which is to say... anything is possible!
