The Without A Trace alum recurred in the final four episodes of Season 4, including the two-part finale, as Julian Gale, an FBI investigator and former colleague of Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff), whose obsessive tendencies made him both a valuable agent and a potential liability. Murciano was brought on to the series with an option to become a series regular in the fifth season, but the show declined.
Meanwhile, original cast member Ryan Eggold will be returning to The Blacklist Season 5 as a series regular following the cancellation of spinoff The Blacklist: Redemption.
Murciano most recently played Detective Marco Diaz on Bloodline, and also had key recurring roles on SundanceTV’s Hap and Leonard and Starz’s Power.
