‘White Collar’ season 5 spoilers: ‘Damages,’ ‘Outsourced’ actors join Matt Bomer series

As we inch closer and closer to the October 17 premiere of “White Collar,” we know at least the names of a couple more people who are going to be stopping by the Matt Bomer hit for a guest spot. You may or may not know the following two names, but their roles will be important to at least one story. (These names were first confirmed in a report from TVLine.)

Zeljko Ivanek – The Emmy-winning “Damages” star has signed up to play the part of Brett Forsythe, a powerful businessman whose specialty just so happens to be hostile takeovers. While we don’t know definitively yet why the following is of interest, buthe also apparently has quite the hobby in collecting ancient artifacts. The FBI specifically is looking into him because he is believed to have pilfered a tyrannosaurs fossil along with an egg, which are worth millions of dollars thanks to them being so rare.

Rebecca Hazlewood – Meanwhile, the former “Outsourced” alum is going to appear in the same episode of the show as a dinosaur expert / museum curator Dr. Reva Khatri, who believes strongly that much of the value of such fossils is educating people of the world with them. So basically, she seems like the heroine here in theory, though this show has has been known in the past to throw fans a curveball.

As a lifelong lover of dinosaurs, we are particularly interested with this story when you think about the sole fact that the value of such things tends to be either overlooked or ignored.
