Marvel Television and Netflix announced that “The Fosters” actor Jay Ali has been cast in the third season of “Marvel’s Daredevil,” where he will portray Rahul “Ray” Nadeem, an honest, but ambitious FBI agent willing to go to any length for his family.
He joins returning cast including, Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock/Daredevil), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), as well as Vincent D’Onofrio, reprising his popular role as Wilson Fisk. All episodes of the first two seasons of “Marvel’s Daredevil” are now streaming on Netflix.


“We are thrilled to welcome Jay into our stellar cast,” said Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer and Marvel’s Head of Television. “His storyline and riveting performance will captivate our fans in the third season of ‘Marvel’s Daredevil.’”
“I love Jay Ali,” added Executive Producer and Showrunner, Erik Oleson. “It isn’t easy to join a cast as talented as ‘Marvel’s Daredevil’ – and Jay blew us all out of the water with his audition. His moving performance in Season 3 will show the world that he’s a star in the making.”
All episodes of the first and second seasons of “Marvel’s Daredevil” are currently streaming on Netflix, with Season Three slated for release later this year.

It sounds like his character will be sort of loosely based on Dale of the FBI.
