The second one is Hal Wyler played by Rufus Sewell in The Diplomat. He is Katie’s husband and also happens to be a former ambassador. Rufus was last seen on Dark City, The Illusionist, and Jigsaw – Netflix series.
There is one more interesting role i.e. Eidra Graham who will be played by Ali Ahn. She plays the CIA Chief of Station in London. It would be quite interesting to see a female role in such a power position.
