Lucien Laviscount (Episodes, Skins) will play Ennis Roth, a police academy trainee who becomes a monster-hunter after his fiancée is killed in the crossfire of the monster war. (Laviscount is also an aspiring singer.)

Why the Supernatural spin-off needs a female lead

Both characters will be introduced in the April 29 episode of Supernatural, which will launch the new project. Tribes will follow the mafia-esque monster families that run the underbelly of Chicago and are being tracked by a newly-minted Hunter who's trying to rid the city of anything supernatural.
