After introducing Cupid and Famine,
Supernatural will be introducing yet another mythical being. Baldur, also known as the God of Light, will be gracing the fifth season, and according to
Digital Spy, actor Adam Croasdell has been cast to play the role.
"It's fantastic being a part of such a popular show and exciting to be in the American arena. I'm looking forward to the challenge," the Zimbabwe-born British actor tells Digital Spy of his
Supernatural debut.
Croasdell, 29, is perhaps best known for his role as Dr. Al Jenkins on
EastEnders. He has played various characters in
Smack the Pony and is credited for portraying Sebastian Montgomery on
The Chase. He has also appeared in
Holby City, Peak Practice, London's Burning, Agatha Christie's
Cat Among the Pigeons,
Ultimate Force, and
The Prince and Me 3: Royal Honeymoon.In Norse mythology, Baldur is the son of Odin and Frigg, and is associated with light because he's so bright (intelligent) that light shined from him. Also associated with beauty, love and happiness, he is loved by both gods and men and is considered to be the best of the gods. At this point, though, it's not clear how Baldur will be introduced on
Supernatural or what role he will play in the Winchesters' fight against the Apocalypse.
