One sci-fi legend exits, another steps up for The CW’s Supergirl.
It seems that the show has cast TRON and Babylon 5 legend Bruce Boxleitner in the upcoming fourth season of the show as recurring character Vice President Baker.
But here’s the kicker, the role had only days ago gone to Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Data himself, Brent Spiner.
However, a family issue forced Spiner to depart the series.
Baker is described as adept and politically minded, an unlikely leader who steps up in a big way when his country needs him most.
“The introduction of the vice president will likely be tied in to the growing anti-alien movement in National City. With the POTUS (played by Wonder Woman vet Lynda Carter) secretly hiding that she’s an alien disguised as a human, does this mean her secret will get out and Baker will be forced to take her place in office?”
Honestly, we’d lost interest in Supergirl because, out of all The CW shows we found it by far the weakest but they just caught our attention in a big way.
The actor announced his excitement at joining The CW’s DC universe on Twitter:
I am so THRILLED to be joining the #Supergirl team for Season 4. -BB @TheCWSupergirl @warnerbrostv https://t.co/g1fDrC2fjj

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
