Absolom is best known for his previous roles as Al Large in Doc Martin and Matthew Rose in EastEnders, and recently appeared as Braden Moore in Code of Silence.
The 46-year-old will play Ray, an old contact of the Mackenzies whose charisma and charm hide a complex character with a menacing streak and a dark past.
Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw revealed the show's excitement at adding Absolom to the cast.
"Charming, charismatic and effortlessly likeable, Ray is an extremely complex character who very quickly shows his dark and villainous side to some of our most loved villagers, leaving them in no doubt as to what he’s capable of."
He said: "Well, what an honour to join such a talented team at Emmerdale!
"It’s an iconic show and I’m grateful to be part of it. I can’t wait to see what’s in stock for Ray!"
