Ron Perlman to Play THE BLACKLIST's Latest Villain

Ron Perlman will soon be heading to THE BLACKLIST

According to TV Guide, the SONS OF ANARCHY star has booked a role on the hit NBC series, playing its latest villain when it returns from hiatus following the SUPER BOWL on Feb. 1.

Perlman will play "Luther Braxton, a meticulous thief who plans his international heists over the course of several months or years. The ruthless baddie creates great diversions and chaos to get what he wants - that is, until he faces off with Red Reddington."

For decades, ex-government agent Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader, "The Office," "Boston Legal") has been one of the FBI's Most Wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as "The Concierge of Crime." Last season, he mysteriously surrendered to the FBI but now the FBI work for him as he identifies a "blacklist" of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. He will help catch them all... with the caveat that Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone, "Law & Order: Los Angeles") continues to work as his partner. Red will teach Liz to think like a criminal and "see the bigger picture"... whether she wants to or not. Also starring are Diego Klattenhoff ("Homeland"), Harry Lennix ("Man of Steel"), Amir Arison ("Girls") and Mozhan Marno ("House of Cards").

Jon Bokenkamp ("The Call," "Taking Lives"), John Eisendrath ("Alias"), John Davis ("Predator," "I, Robot," "Chronicle"), John FOX and Michael Watkins ("The X-Files") serve as executive producers. "The Blacklist" is a production of Sony Pictures Television and Davis Entertainment.
