'Supergirl' Taps Ian Gomez as Kara's New Boss
TV

The 'Cougar Town' star will recur as Snapper Carr, the new editor-in-chief of CatCo Magazine.

AceShowbiz - "Supergirl" has found Kara's (Melissa Benoist) new boss in "Cougar Town" alum Ian Gomez. The actor has landed a recurring role of Snapper Carr, a headstrong, sharp-witted newsman hired by Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) to be the editor-in-chief of CatCo Magazine.

According to EW, Snapper's commitment to hard-hitting journalism pushes CatCo reporters to dig deeper in the pursuit of excellence. He's a man who tells people what he thinks of them, and his no-holds barred approach pushes Kara in unexpected ways. In the comics, Snapper was a supporting civilian Justice League character.

It's currently unknown if a new boss for Kara means Cat Grant will have a reduced capacity in the second season, which will air on The CW. The network move also changes the shooting location from L.A. to Vancouver.

Flockhart was previously reported to have agreed to remain on the show despite its move to Vancouver, but CW president Mark Pedowitz admitted in May that they still didn't know in how many episodes the actress would appear. "We're happy to have her in whatever capacity is worked out," he said back then.

The show recently tapped Lynda Carter as President of the United States, and Tyler Hoechlin as Superman. The second season will launch Monday, October 10 at 8 P.M. ET on The CW.
