Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Kyle MacLachlan and Henry Simmons in the cast of the second season

Kyle MacLachlan will be the father of Sky in the second season of the series Marvel, while Henry Simmons will play the agent Alphonso "Mac" Mackenzie, but in a different version than the comics.

The second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to expand its cast, which will include some familiar faces on American television (like Lucy Lawless, recently cast as the agent Isabel Hartly). Well, another actor of international fame will have an important role during the season: Entertainment Weekly reports show that Kyle MacLachlan (Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Desperate Housewives) will play the mysterious father of Skye, and will debut in the second episode. It is perhaps the macabre bleeding man we saw in the finale of the first season? In any case, ComicBookMovie indicates that the character is identified by the nickname of "the Doctor".

ComicBookMovie also reports that Henry Simmons (pictured above) won the role of Agent Alphonso "Mac" Mackenzie, described as "a mechanic in his thirties." In the comics, Mackenzie is a veteran who contrasts with Nick Fury, and comes into contact with Jessica Jones (whose television series will be produced by Netflix). The previous television experiences of Henry Simmons include NYPD Blue, Shark and Ravenswood.

The second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will debut Tuesday, September 23 on ABC.
