As revealed by EW, Keith Martin, who was known for portraying Elroy Patashnik in "Community" will be portraying Terence Beale for the upcoming season of the sci-fi crime drama series.
Martin's role will be a strong force in the upcoming season as EW says that "he is a smart and cunning CIA supervisory agent." EW also described his character as, "David's character is described as the kind of guy who knows where the bodies are buried ... most because he put a few of them there himself."
