As reported by the Chicago Tribune, Colm Meaney (Chief O'Brien, TNG, DS9) is set to play the King of Hearts in the upcomming Sci Fi miniseries 'Alice'. 

Oscar winner Kathy Bates is making a foray into television as the Queen of Hearts in the upcoming Sci Fi miniseries "Alice."

In the re-imagining of "Alice in Wonderland," which airs on Sci Fi in December, Tim Curry will play Dodo, Colm Meaney ("Star Trek: Deep Space Nine") will play the King of Hearts and Alessandro Juliani (Felix Gaeta on "Battlestar Galactica") will be the 9 of Clubs.

Caterina Scorsone from the Starz TV adaptation of "Crash" will play Alice Hamilton, a modern-day woman caught in the strange realm ruled by the Queen of Hearts. This version of the tale uses Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" as "a jumping off point," according to the network.
