Today, it was announced that this character will be played by Battlestar Galactica's Tahmoh Penikett, and that he will first appear in Supernatural's Season 9 premiere on October 8.Executive producer Jeremy Carver describes Ezekiel as "a dignified warrior angel injured in the Fall." No other details are available at this time, though fans now at least have a face to go with the name, as Penikett joins his fellow BSG alum Mark Sheppard on the series.
