Gloria Reuben has signed up for a 5-episode arc on the upcoming 3rd season of TNT’s sci-fi drama Falling Skies.

Reuben will play a character named Marina Perlata, described as:

…an aide to Wyle’s Tom Mason, who has been one of the leaders from the human resistance movement against an invading alien force. Attractive and a very put together woman, Marina is extremely intelligent and her political knowledge and experience could prove extremely helpful to Tom.

This is another one of those TV shows I haven't gotten around to watching. So nothing in the above description means anything to me. But I suppose I'll have to play catch-up before season 3 begins.

Up next for Ms Reuben is Steven Spielberg's Abraham Lincoln biopic, Lincoln.

Worth noting, for 2 seasons (2008 – 2009) she co-starred in another TNT series, the legal drama Raising The Bar.
