The question of whether the leader of the Fifth Column really exists can now be answered. According to
TV Guide,
Battlestar Galactica's sexy Cylon Michael Trucco has been cast on ABC's V as the mysterious John May.
We don't really know a lot about John May except that his name strikes anxiety even to the V's in command. He's some sort of a legendary figure among the Visitors and has the money and power for the Fifth Column to thrive. And while Ryan (Morris Chestnut) and Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell) have been attempting to resurrect this notorious leader, we already know that some of his loyal members have already taken office in the Visitor's headquarters.
Trucco, who will make his
V debut on April 13, is expected to appear on only one episode.
Aside from playing Samuel Anders on Battlestar Galactica, Trucco is also credited for his roles as Cooper Lee on
One Tree Hill, Lt.Tucker "Spoon" Henry on
Pensacola: Wings of Gold
and Colonel Tom Young on
Meteor Storm.
This marks the latest casting on
V, following U.K. actor Charles Mesure, Canadian actor Nicholas Lea and Canadian actress Lexa Doig.
