The Star Wars star will play Talus, a veteran of the Crusades who survived a decade in captivity, on the History channel's medieval drama. Season 2 will mark a showrunner change for Knightfall, with Aaron Helbing coming aboard to helm the series. "We look forward to offering our viewers a grittier, darker Knightfall in season two and welcoming Mark to the cast," says History's programming vice president Eli Lehrer.
