"Lost star Zuleikha Robinson has joined the cast of Homeland. The British actress will appear in season two of the hit Showtime drama, Deadline reports.   Robinson will play Roya Hammad, a Middle Eastern journalist with links to terrorist Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban). The character will also become involved with Brody (Damian Lewis), delivering an ultimatum to the conflicted former marine. 34-year-old Robinson played Ilana Verdansky on Lost between 2009 and 2010. She has also appeared in Rome and X-Files spinoff The Lone Gunmen. Damian Lewis recently admitted that his performance as Brody has elicited a mixed response from viewers. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t mind playing unlikeable roles,&amp;quot; said the actor. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve done it before. One of the things you should seek to achieve as an actor is that your character is understood somehow.&amp;quot; Homeland will return to Showtime in the US on September 30. Channel 4 has picked up the rights to air season two in the UK, with a late 2012 broadcast planned.
