The cast of ABC’s new hit drama series Big Sky has gotten a bit bigger as Ted Levine will noe be joining the series as a regular, according to Deadline.
- In addition to Levine, Kyle Schmid has been added to the cast of ABC’s Big Sky for a recurring role.
- Both Levine and Schmid will make their debut on the series later in this first season.
- Levine will play Horst Kleinsasser:
- “Horst has run the ranch empire for decades with a petty ruthlessness, buying up failing ranches, making deals, expanding his grip on the small, rural Lochsa County. He’s set up his children to compete and screw each other over. This once-powerful man has suffered a stroke and can only whisper, and knows he has to pass the ranch throne on to one of his children.”
- Schmid will play John Wayne Kleinsasser:
- “Second-born and angry. The sort of guy who drives a Ford King Ranch with an NRA decal. He clings to the old ways of the ranch with a ferocity and forcefulness. John Wayne has used his father’s illness to grab the reins of the ranch and steer it away from his brother Blake, the eldest son who turned his back on the family years ago.”
- Big Sky is created by David E. Kelley of Big Little Lies and is based on a book by CJ Box.
- The series is set to return from a winter break with new episodes on January 26.
