Ruby Rose’s Batwoman adds CW veteran Sebastian Roché to its cast for a reoccurring role.
Sebastian Roché has, up until this point, never worked on an Arroverse show but has had plenty of reoccurring roles in several other CW series. This most notably includes a guest role in The Vampire Diaries, where Sebastian Roché played Mikael and went on to reprise the role for the show’s spinoff, The Originals. In addition, Sebastian Roché has also had a reoccurring role in Supernatural as Balthazar. But now it seems he will be adding Ruby Rose’s Batwoman to his resume.
Full details on Sebastian Roché’s role in Ruby Rose’s Batwoman are currently being kept under wraps but his character does not appear to be based on any pre-established Batman character. He is set to play a character known as Doctor Cambell who happens to be one of Gotham’s most respected plastic surgeons. Whether or not he will be an ally or enemy to Ruby Rose’s Batwoman, however, is currently unknown.
