Deadline reports that British actress Rhona Mitra will join the cast of Cinemax's
Strike Back next season. (If you haven't watched the first season yet, though, you might not want to click on that link, as the trade blog's story contains plot spoilers.) Mitra is probably most famous as the model for Lara Croft in the
Tomb Raider videogames during the height of their popularity, though more recently she's starred in films like
Doomsday and
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and the short-lived TV show
The Gates. She's got some spy experience under her belt, too, having appeared in a small role in the Mark Wahlberg movie
Shooter (review
here), and in an episode of Barry Sonenfeld's flash-in-the-pan 2000 spy show
Secret Agent Man (which was not a remake of ITC's
Danger Man aka
Secret Agent, despite sharing its theme song with that show's American title sequence). The new season of
Strike Back starts shooting soon in South Africa.
