The Wild Cards premiere, "The Infinity Thief," featured a familiar face in the roles of Noah and Joey Vaziri. The twin brothers worked at an auction house and have a history with Max, played by Vanessa Morgan, as they've fenced items for her. The first case of the series revolved around the Infinity Thief and it tied back to the brothers. While we won't reveal just how, in case you've paused your episode to see who plays the Vaziri brothers, we can tell you it certainly impacts them both.

The twins are played by Zach Smadu. If you recognize the actor, it might be because you've seen promos on The CW for his show, Family Law, or perhaps you've even watched it. Smadu stars alongside Jewel Staite and Victor Garber. On the series he plays Daniel Svensson. The character is notably a perfectionist who seeks his father's approval, but he's less like his father than his sister, Abby, much to his consternation.

Smadu's credits also include The Expanse, Letterkenny, Cardinal, and The Good Witch. As he's a series regular on Family Law, it's not likely we'll be seeing him return on Wild Cards.
