Add one more to the "Daredevil" season two cast: Actor Stephen Rider has been cast as Blake Tower, as reported Thursday evening by Deadline. Here's the character description: "a District Attorney for New York City who helps Charlie Cox's Daredevil -- a lawyer in his civilian identity as Matt Murdock -- with information to help track down and capture criminals."
