Ausiello has reported that two new characters will be joining Big Love for Season 5. The most recently announced is former Terminator 2 star Robert Patrick. X-Files fans will also remember Patrick as the FBI agent who succeeded Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) for the final two seasons of the show. He’s also recently appeared on the USA series Psych and Burn Notice.
Patrick will be playing Bud Mayberry, the leader of a polygamist fringe group. This is actually perfect casting, because Patrick easily comes across as a creepy character, as do many of the polygamist leaders on Big Love.
In case you missed this tidbit of information, Gregory Itzin, who played Charles Logan on later seasons of 24, will also be joining the cast of Big Love in the fifth season. He’ll be coming on as Senator Richard Dwyer, the Republican Majority Leader of the Utah State Senate, and Bill’s newest senatorial colleague.

Gregory Itzin has revealed details of his character on the upcoming fifth season of Big Love. The actor - known for his role as the scheming Charles Logan on 24 - will play Senator Richard Dwyer in five of the season's ten episodes. He told Entertainment Weekly that Dwyer and Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton) "will butt heads. [Since] he’s come out as a polygamist, he’s taking a lot of political heat, and I become the spearhead for that, (more)...

I've got me some big love for Gregory Itzin, people, so I'm really jazzed about this news. The fabulous Emmy-nominated actor who took his role of 24 President Charles Logan to wickedly insane heights will join the new season of Big Love as Senator Richard Dwyer, the Utah State Senate Republican Majority Leader. As those of you who watch Big Love are aware, at the close of season 4 Bill Henrickson had just been elected as a Republican Senator himself, so the potential for brilliant interaction between Itzin and Bill Paxton is great. I was really put off by the whole running for the Senate storyline -- it made little sense for the family (who Bill just outed to all his constituents) and I found it incredible that he would actually win. But the addition of Itzen will no doubt add interest and make the political storyline palatable.
