You may know Mark Pellegrino from Lost as the mysterious Jacob, or from Supernatural where he played the devil himself, Lucifer. But now the actor landed a recurring role on TNT drama The Closer.

TV Guide reports that Pellegrino will play Brenda’s defense attorney. He is described by exec James Duff as:

Brisk, gay and formidable. He is ruthless in court and still manages to project an air of friendly professionalism. […] Though he is easy to like, Gavin is extremely dangerous to underestimate. He is the only person on earth who can make Brenda hang up her cell phone.

That sounds like a great match for Mark Pellegrino. I was fortunate enough to meet the actor at a Supernatural fan convention, and he definitely had the “formidable” air down to a T. Great to see him in another TV role!
