Salvation has added to its cast. An actor from Murder in the First has joined the cast of the summer drama. Deadline reported on the addition of Ian Anthony Dale to the series earlier this week.

Deadline said the following about Dale’s role and the CBS summer series:

“Salvation follows whip-smart MIT grad student Liam (Charlie Rowe) and tech billionaire Darius Tanz, who bring to a low-level Pentagon official a staggering discovery: An asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth. Liam and Darius team to launch a secret project to save the planet — a secret Liam must keep from the ones he loves. Dale will play Deputy Secretary of Defense Harris Anders, a consummate Washington insider who is tasked with running the government’s top-secret plan to deflect a planet killer asteroid. A man who’s devoted himself to country, Harris will find himself torn between following orders, following his conscience and following his heart.”

Dale also has a recurring role on another CBS series – Hawaii Five-0. He stars as Adam, Kono’s husband.
