Actor Robert Gant (Queer as Folk) will appear in two upcoming episodes of the new CW series The Tomorrow People, playing Peter, a new boyfriend of Stephen’s (series lead Robbie Amell) mom. But Peter may be too good to be true and have ulterior motives for dating Stephen’s mom. Also, actress Elizabeth Hurley will lend her voice to the new drama, as the counterpart to TIM, the computer used by The Tomorrow People (which is voiced by Downton Abbey alum Dan Stevens). Hurley’s “character”, however, will be the voice of ULTRA’s own super-computer dubbed Alice. The next new episode of The Tomorrow People will air on The CW on December 4.
