Moe Bar-El has been cast in Noah Hawley's upcoming Alien TV series for FX! According to Deadline the actor has been tapped for an undisclosed role as character information is being kept tightly under wraps.

Also aboard is Timothy Olyphant, and while his role has not yet been confirmed, Deadline hears he’ll be playing Kirsh, a synth who acts as a mentor and trainer for Wendy, a character with the body of an adult, but the brain and consciousness of a child.
