There's a Reason Hugh Dancy Looks Familiar — Here's What He's Been In

As hinted in the name, "Homeland" is a thriller series that dives into the world of homeland security through the eyes of a Marine sergeant, a CIA agent, the president, and, consequently, the president's staff and advisers. The show takes place all over the world, from Washington DC to the Middle East, as characters' careers evolve and grow. Dancy doesn't make an appearance until the eighth and final season. His character is John Zabel, a foreign-policy adviser to the US president.
