Davison will be portraying the cult’s founder, Dr. Joseph Cawl. He’s best known for his roles in the “X-Men” franchise as Sen. Robert Kelly and his performance as David, a gay man living with AIDS in Norman René’s 1989 drama “Longtime Companion,” for which he received an Oscar nomination and won a Golden Globe Award for supporting actor.
