Glenn Talbot, the man who spent years hunting the Incredible Hulk in the comics, will receive new life this April courtesy of actor Adrian Pasdar in “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Pasdar will don Tablot’s signature moustache and military garb in an upcoming episode of the hit series, and just as the character proved a thorn in the Hulk’s side through the decades, the actor hints he’ll cause some trouble for our favorite Agents as well.
While we can’t say too much about when, where, why or how Talbot will make his debut, we had the chance to chat with Pasdar himself to get a taste of what his character will bring to the show, the amount of research that went into this role and much more!
Marvel.com: I had to open up here by saying we talk quite a bit for all our animated shows, so it’s kind of unique and strange that I now get to talk to you about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Adrian Pasdar: Yeah, it’s the same universe but a whole different galaxy!
Marvel.com: To start with, how did your role as Glenn Talbot come about with S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Adrian Pasdar: In the same way that Iron Man [in “Marvel’s Avengers Assemble”] came up. I got a call from my good friend, ["Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Executive Producer] Jeph Loeb. “Would you come and do this role?” and I read the character description and I thought, “Oh man. Here it is again. The sanctimonious [jerk]. That’s what they’re coming to me for.” [laughs] His way’s the only way! I said, “Jeph, are you trying to tell me something?” He said, “No, not at all! Nobody can play this quite like you, but no.” [laughs] So he came to me and I said yes.
