"I'm playing the Secretary of State of the United States. I'll be going over there in the next couple of weeks," Wise told IGN. Besides his iconic work as Leland Palmer on Twin Peaks, the prolific Wise is also known for RoboCop, Reaper and 24, among many other projects.
Referring to First Class director Matthew Vaughn, Wise said, "I love Matthew. And Bryan Singer's producing it and [it's got] a great cast – James McAvoy, January Jones, Oliver Platt."
When we asked Wise if his role would require him to be involved in any scenes involving big special effects, he replied, "Well, I think I touch on them, yeah, a bit."
