True Blood’s Mehcad Brooks will exchange the paranormal for the extraterrestrial on CBS’s Supergirl, where he’s been cast as James Olsen. In this iteration of the character, Olsen will be a photographer at CatCo, the media company where Kara Zor-El (a.k.a. Supergirl, Melissa Benoist) works. According to DC Comics lore, the character could also be a potential love interest for Kara. (If you just yelled spicy, give yourself a high five and then picture Stefon saying, “CatCo is National City’s hottest new club.â€)
