‘Supernatural’ Actor Mark Sheppard Joins ‘Doom Patrol’

If you’re a fan of the long running show “Supernatural,” then more than likely you have a love-hate relationship with Crowley. Mark Sheppard, well known to fans of the show thanks to years of playing the demon (and later King of Hell) known as Crowley, left “Supernatural” after the twelfth season.

But as fans may also know very well, the actors have a funny way of coming back to The CW. Well; “Doom Patrol” has some very good news because Sheppard is joining the series to play an intriguing character in an upcoming episode.

Sheppard will play a character by the name of Willoughby Kipling, and from the details revealed, Kipling will be recruiting the Doom Patrol to help him stop a nihilistic cult, thus preventing the end of the world. But because it’s an interesting show, fans can probably count on some hilarity between Kipling and the Doom Patrol.

For those that don’t know, Willoughby Kipling is actually a character from the pages of DC Comics, although he’s not the most well known. In the comics, Kipling is a trench coat-wearing powerful magician who drinks, smokes, curses, and basically shames his peers.

New episodes of “Doom Patrol” release Fridays on DC Universe, and it’s the third DC Universe original series to premiere, following “Titans” in 2018 and “Young Justice: Outsiders” earlier this year.
