  • Emmy winner Terry O'Quinn (Lost, Secrets & Lies) has joined the cast of the upcoming drama in a recurring role. He will play Howard Hargrave, the founder of Halcyon Aegis. He is brilliant, an asymmetrical thinker and a visionary leader. He is also a man driven by deeply held moral convictions that can put him at odds with his own company. Deeply private, he has a complex relationship with Scottie (Famke Janssen), his wife of many years, and he has suffered profound personal tragedies which have left wounds that will never heal. He now faces a crisis that challenges every assumption he's ever made about his company, his family and his life.
