Sleepy Hollow is enlisting a major Founding Father this fall. Ichabod Crane will meet up with Benjamin Franklin in season 2. Fox’s breakout action-thriller has cast The West Wing actor Timothy Busfield to play “the First American” in a recurring role, reports EW.
Fans will discover that Crane (Tom Mison) reluctantly apprenticed under Franklin before he awoke in present day New England. “Last season we created this history between Ichabod and George Washington that talked about this secret war that was part of the American Revolution,” says executive producer Mark Goffman. “This season we’re continuing that and expanding on it with other characters.
