Gower will play a vampire named Cutler in the new series of the supernatural drama, the Oxford School Of Drama website confirms.

The actor was a regular cast member of ITV1’s medical drama Monroe earlier this year, alongside James Nesbitt and Sarah Parish. He also appeared alongside Being Human guest star Lacey Turner (EastEnders) in BBC Three’s live TV event Frankenstein’s Wedding… Live In Leeds as Victor Frankenstein in March.

Following the success of Series 3, Being Human was recommissioned for another eight 60-minute episodes.

Being Human creator Toby Whithouse gave some hints about Series 4 last month: “There will be lots of new faces, an old face, a genuinely shocking death, a new villain, a sort-of new kind of supernatural (though that could change… we’re very fickle…), a new writer and a journey to somewhere even we have never gone before.”
