ARROW Books Former BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Star Tahmoh Penikett

Wait, did I already say that The CW’s upcoming series ARROW had filled their quota for sci-fi nerd cred? Yeah, they’ve massively surpassed it with this latest casting: Warner Bros. confirms that former BATTLESTAR GALACTICA star Tahmoh Penniket will appear in ARROW’s seventh episode.

According to Green Arrow TV, Penniket will play Tom Salvati, who is the second-in-command to mob boss Frank Bertinelli. Making things a little more complicated is that Bertinelli is the father of Helena Bertinelli…AKA The Huntress. (It’s a very tangled web.)

If you can’t wait until then to see Penniket back on your screens, you can also see him in CASTLE’s fifth season premiere on Monday, September 24th.

ARROW premieres Wednesday, October 10th at 8 PM on The CW. Will you be tuning in?
