Cary Elwes? The Princess Bride guy? So much for the lesbian angle.

"The Bureau's Got a New A.D."

Cary Elwes has been cast as the recurring character of FBI Assistant Director Brad Follmer, an ex-boyfriend of Monica Reyes and an equal in rank to Skinner. A.D. Follmer will be introduced in the Season Nine premiere, "Nothing Important Happened Today," which airs on Nov. 4th. It was written by Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz, and directed by Kim Manners.

"It's not just adding a terrific actor, it's adding somebody of a certain stature to the show," Carter said of Elwes. The producers' goal was to cast someone very different from Doggett. "(Follmer) is a guy who is a little more buttoned up, a little more polished; he represents a different kind of FBI," Carter said.

Elwes was offered the part after he read with Annabeth Gish on Wednesday night. "All of us saw at the same time how he would be the best choice for the dynamic we were trying to create; we liked the energy between the two of them," Carter said.

The actor is known for his wide-ranging work in films, including 1987's The Princess Bride, 1990's Days of Thunder, 1993's Robin Hood: Men in Tights and, more recently, 1999's The Cradle Will Rock and last year's Shadow of the Vampire. He also appeared in the 1998 HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon.
