Richard Schiff has landed himself a role in the upcoming "Man Of Steel", Schiff is widely known for his six years spent on "The West Wing".
Schiff is going to be playing a character called Doctor Hamilton, people are saying that this is more than likely to be Professor Emil Hamilton from the comics who made his first appearance in the late 80's.
The picture below shows Professor Hamilton, the similarities are a little disturbing in my opinion ha ha.
