Joining the game: · Dennis Haysbert (Irving Lambert)-Widely recognized from his role as President David Palmer in the hit Fox television series, "24", Dennis Haysbert is an established screen actor who has appeared in numerous films including Far from Heaven, Major League and Heat. Haysbert joins the cast as Sam Fisher's supervisor and colleague, Irving Lambert, who provides direction to the lone agent from Third Echelon headquarters deep within the NSA.

"Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow unfolds just like a movie: It's a conspiracy-ridden storyline that explores the shadowy world of international espionage. With its stunning visuals and strong use of light and shadows it looks like a movie too. I can't wait to play it with my son!"
