Brent Spiner will be joining the cast of The CW's 'Supergirl' for its fourth season. Spiner — best known for his portrayal of android Lieutenant Commander Data in TV series 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' as well as four subsequent spinoff films -- Star Trek Generations, First Contact, Insurrection, and Nemesis — will feature in the superhero action-adventure as President Olivia Marsdin's (Lynda Carter) right-hand man.

According to TV Guide, Spiner has been cast in the role of Vice President Baker. Described as "adept and politically-minded," Bake is an unlikely leader who will "step up in a big way when his country needs him the most."
