David Harewood Cast As Hank Henshaw

Homeland and Selfie veteran David Harewood will be playing Hank Henshaw in the CBS Supergirl pilot.

On the show, onetime CIA agent Hank Henshaw now runs the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), which tracks extraterrestrial threats on the planet Earth. Fans of comics will, of course, know Henshaw from his alter ego as the Cyborg Superman.
