Lie To Me Scoop

As reported in the 2×5 casting call, Lennie James will guest on Lie to Me this upcoming season, playing Ray Marsh. (His character will be introduced in the 5th episode.) Where things get tricky is Ausiello is reporting that he will play Lightman’s rival/nemesis. As earlier reported, and confirmed by Shawn Ryan, Marc Blucas will also be playing a rival of Lightman’s. (He’s being introduced in the 4th episode.) Also, it’s been mentioned before that his “rival” was in the same deception detection as well, (Blucas). So, will he have two rivals this season? (Check back to this post for updates.)

Ausiello also provided a few more details about Ray Marsh, stating that he’s “a charming Brit” and “is now on the FBI and Scotland Yard watch lists. Ray once took the fall for Lightman and spent time in prison as a result. Now, after a 20-year estrangement, Ray is back to collect what he believes he is owed”.

With all that in mind, what do you think about the choice of Lennie James for the character?

UPDATE: Special thanks to @moryan & @ShawnRyanTV for clarifying via Twitter, as follows:
@moryan: “based on info from Fox, yes, think they r different rivals.Rader a slick deception expert, Ray a friend/rival from London”
@ShawnRyanTV: “To clarify Marc Blucas plays Lightman’s former protege/current rival. Lennie James plays trouble making old friend.”
