Blaine might not be the only baddie who will make an appearance in the second season of 'iZombie.' It looks like his father is getting in on the excitement as well!
According to Entertainment Weekly, Robert Knepper has been added to the 'iZombie' cast to play Angus DeBeers, a wealthy businessman who has continuously been financing his drug dealing son. There's a possibility that Blaine (David Anders) will want to reconnect with Papa DeBeers now that he is human again and in need of hard cash.
Robert Knepper has appeared in several TV shows including 'The Twilight Zone,' 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' 'Law & Order,' 'Star Trek: Voyager' and 'Heroes,' but he is best remembered as the sly Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell from 'Prison Break.' He has reprised the role in the episode 'The Bag Man' for the first season of 'Breakout Kings.'
Knepper's most recent TV appearances were as William Tockman in 'Arrow' as well as 'The Flash' and as Adrian Gish in 'Chicago Fire' and 'Chicago PD.'

Blaine may not need to pretend to be human around his father, but what about his clientele? Executive producer Rob Thomas told EW that Blaine will try to pass as a zombie.
"I think we're going to have a lot of fun next year with Blaine trying to pass for zombie with his clientele," Thomas said. "It will be a very dangerous position to be in if his zombie customers are no longer frightened by him."
'iZombie' is loosely based on the comic book series by Michael Allred and Chris Robison. The show stars Rose McIver as Liv, a zombified medical resident who gets clues about crimes when she eats homicide victims' brains. Liv ends up helping Detective Clive Babineaux (Malcolm Goodwin) in solving homicides in Seattle.
The second season of 'iZombie' airs on the CW on October 6.
