Spy series “Berlin Station” returns for Season 3 on Monday, December 3 at 9pm ET/PT. The show is adding Oscar-nominated actor James Cromwell to the cast for the 10-episode season.
Cromwell will play Gilbert Dorn, a former CIA legend put out to pasture who appears on a podcast revealing information about past missions. Currently in production in Budapest, season three takes place over the course of 11 days in Eastern and Central Europe as Chief of Station Valerie Edwards (played by Michelle Forbes) guides her team through the high-stakes relationship between Russia, the United States and its vulnerable NATO allies. Is the Kremlin involved in any foul play that could upend a thinly-held World Order?

Confidential, The Green Mile, Secretariat, Marshall, and he has also played the role of U.S. President four times.
