Exclusive First Look: Supernatural's New Angel

A new angel is joining Supernatural's flock, and we've got an exclusive first look at Curtis Armstrong(Revenge of the Nerds, Moonlighting) as Metatron, the reclusive scribe of God.

Armstrong makes his debut in the May 1 episode (The CW, 9/8c) ' penned by fan favorite Ben Edlund ' when Dean and Sam seek out the heavenly creature to fill in the holes in Kevin's research.

But will Metatron offer up his services to help out the Winchesters? It sure doesn't look that way from the confrontational photos below. (In case you missed our earlier scoop, Dean will have his hands full with Tron.)

apparently Jeremy said this..

Any news on what Supernatural's Dean will be doing while Sam is dealing with the Trials? –Sue
I turned your query over to exec producer Jeremy Carver, and his response was: "I can't say much about the Trials, but when it comes to what might be in store for Dean, I have one word: Tron." (Could that be, as I suspect, a reference to a certain casting notice that circulated last month?)
