Ed Harris has landed a pivotal role in HBO's 'Westworld'.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the four-time Oscar nominee has been signed up to play 'The Man in Black', described as the distillation of pure villainy into one man in the premium cable network's adaptation of the sci-fi hit.

The 'Man on a Ledge' star will join Anthony Hopkins, Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, James Marsden, Kyle Bornheimer and more in the drama inspired by Michael Crichton's 1973 feature film.
