British actor Alfred Molina has joined the cast of the new series 'Law & Order: Los Angeles'.
The 57-year-old will play Deputy District Attorney Morales, a character described by TVGuide.com as "a narcissistic but self-deprecating and altruistic prosecutor" with political ambitions.
In a statement to Deadline Hollywood, which first broke the story, the show's executive producer, Dick Wolf, said: "I am thrilled that Fred is 'LOLA''s Deputy D.A.
"He joins a remarkable list of some of America's greatest character actors like Sam Waterson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jeff Goldblum, Steven Hill, Dianne Wiest and Michael Moriarity as stars of the 'Law & Order'-branded series."
'Law & Order: Los Angeles' begins production on 2 August and premieres on American television on 22 September.
Earlier this month it was announced that Skeet Ulrich would also star in the show.
