Looks like another British actor will be joining the "Mission Impossible 5" cast. Simon Pegg confirmed last year that he will be reprising his role as Benji Dunn in the sequel. His character also appeared in MI3 and MI4 so it will be cool to see him join Tom Cruise again.
MTV News asked 44-year old English actor if he will be part of the "Mission Impossible 5" cast and this is what he said: "Yes, absolutely. I'm looking forward to doing that." Pegg also revealed, "I've already started eating one carrot a day in order to be in shape. Actually, that's not good for you to do that. Don't do that."
The latest report revealed a new addition to the "Mission Impossible 5" cast and that is Sean Harris. The 48-year old actor may become Tom Cruise's new archenemy. Deadline reported, Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions have offered the villain role in the Christopher McQuarrie-directed Mission: Impossible 5 to Sean Harris. Their source also said, "They are negotiating, though I'm being told don't dress for it just yet."
Sean Harris is best known for his role in "Prometheus" where he portrayed the role of a mentally unstable geologist with his trademark red Mohawk hairstyle. He also starred as Ian Curtis of the new wave band Joy Division in "24 Hour Party People". Having portrayed different characters, I'm sure he will be able to bring to life a new villain in "Mission: Impossible 5".
The producers seem to choose character actors to portray the villains in "Mission Impossible" films. Archenemies are as important as the lead stars in the film because without them, there won't be any heroes. We have seen some of the best actors in Hollywood star as the villain in "Mission Impossible" film series. Veteran actor John Voight and French actor Jean Reno starred in "Mission: Impossible", Scottish actor Dougray Scott took the bad guy role in MI2, Academy-Award winner Philip Seymour Hoffman starred in MI3, and Swedish actor Michael Nyqvist played Tom Cruise's enemy in MI4.
Do you want to see Sean Harris join the "Mission Impossible 5" cast soon?
