Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Recruits David Conrad In Top-Secret Role

TVLine has confirmed that David Conrad has joined Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC in a recurring role.

All the details about his character are being kept secretive and underwraps but the show has been casting the role of a brilliant and quirky scientist that matches Conrad’s description (i.e., male in his 40s).

ABC declined to comment.

Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel's feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson's team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).

Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. stars Clark Gregg, Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge, J. August Richards, Cobie Smulders, David Conrad
