Mekhi Phifer joins Torchwood

This is kind of a cute news...  Mekhi Phifer joins the sexy cast of Torchwood.
Blastr reports:

The Lie to Me and 8 Mile veteran will join John Barrowman and Eve Myles in trying to defend the Earth and ensnare viewers for the fourth season of the Doctor Who spinoff.

Phifer will play CIA agent Rex Matheson, who's described as "a fast-tracked high flyer with a lethal sense of humor who starts to feel his mortality when his life is put in danger."

No word yet on whether Agent Matheson will be a potential love interest for Jack Harkness, but when you've got a pan-sexual time crusader as the lead, you never know.

This could be interesting, sexy and who knows.
