Mehcad Brooks to play Jimmy Olsen in Supergirl TV series

January 30, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Coming hot on the heels of Melissa Benoist’s (Whiplash) casting as Kara Zor-El, it looks like CBS has found its Jimmy Olsen for the upcoming Supergirl TV series, with TV Line reporting that Mehcad Brooks (Desperate Housewives, True Blood) has nabbed the role.

The site reports that Supergirl’s version of Jimmy Olsen is a “smart, worldly photographer for CatCo, the media company where Kara works. He has recently been living and working in National City, though the reason is still a secret, and his salt-of-the-earth nature quickly piques Kara’s interest.”

Supergirl has been written by Ali Adler (No Ordinary Family), who will executive produce alongside Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash).
