‘The Blacklist’ spoilers: ‘Banshee’ actor signs on as Tom’s brother

As we found out on this past episode of “The Blacklist,” Tom Keen is not exactly the man that he is cracked up to be. While there is still some information that needs to be revealed regarding who he is working for and what he wants with Liz Keen, we at least know that his motivations are not exactly good.

So what happens when some other people start to get mixed up in this mess? That is what we are hoping to see on the upcoming episode airing near the ending of the month. According to a new report from TV Guide, Peter Scanavino (“Banshee”) has signed on to play the part of Tom’s brother on an upcoming episode. This is a pretty significant role for the entire mythology of the series, given that this character is going to help to shed some very valuable light on what the relationship was like between Tom and someone else in his life growing up.

One other interesting thing that this report tells us? That the relationship between these two brothers is not exactly as it seems. Therefore, you really cannot rule out the possibility completely of these two not actually being related at all, and him being someone else involved in this elaborate corporate operation that has started to take over his life. He was tasked with getting close to Liz, but at the end Tom still seems like a pawn in someone else’s plan.

What do you think about this casting, and what do you really think is the motivation of the Tom character? Share your thoughts below.
