"Brothers & Sisters": Meet Saul's new boyfriend!

Ever since we heard that Uncle Saul (Ron Rifkin) was going to be getting a love interest on Brothers & Sisters, we've had the AfterElton.com Flying Monkeys hard at work trying to learn which actor would land the part. And now, thanks to a secret source, we've got the answer! Who is that mysterious man? You can find out after the jump, but if you want to be spoiled, don't look. And here are a couple of clues to the actor's identity.

He's 64-years-old (much more age appropriate than Dave Foley who plays Saul's blind date in an upcoming episode) and has done both film and television including Batman & Robin, Scrooged, and Annie Hall. He's also played a villain's father, showed up on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as well as Frasier. And this won't be his first time playing gay. Any guesses? The answer is after the jump!

It's John Glover!

I have to say, I think this is an excellent choice and given Glover's stature, this indicates that TPTB at B&S intend to give Saul and his new love some actual screentime. There aren't any other details available yet about the character or how long he'll be on the show, but stay tuned for details!
