Now who the heck is Alon Aboutboul? This little-known Israeli actor actually has appeared in high-profile movies like Steven Spielberg's MUNICH (2005) and Ridley Scott's BODY OF LIES (2008). He also appeared in TV shows like NCIS, The Mentalist, Fringe and Castle.
Now according to Israeli site Xnet, Aboutboul has been cast in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. This new is confirmed from the actor's wife via Twitter. While his character's identity is unknown at this point, Aboutboul is said that he will be playing a "particularly evil mad scientist". Could that be Hugo Strange, or someone else entirely?
Let the speculation begins!
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES hit theaters on July 20, 2012. The movie is directed by Christopher Nolan, and stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
