Richard Dean Anderson will guest-star on Stargate Universe
Brad Wright, co-creator of SCI FI Channel's upcoming Stargate Universe, told Gateworld that Stargate SG-1 star Richard Dean Anderson ("Jack O'Neill") will guest-star on the new show. SG-1 cast member Gary Jones ("Walter Harriman"), meanwhile, told fans he would also appear in the new series.
"Rick is doing episodes of Universe," Wright told GateWorld. "He was just here yesterday shooting an episode of Universe with us. So that relationship is always ongoing, and it's good to have him back."
The show's fifth episode, "Earth," is currently filming and is likely one in which Anderson will appear.
For his part, Jones appeared on stage at Creation Entertainment's official Stargate convention in Vancouver, Canada, and told fans that he is appearing in an episode of Universe with Anderson. He said that Gen. O'Neill will have been promoted to three-star general for the episode they filmed together.
Jones added that he was asked to appear in the Universe premiere, "Air."
Stargate Universe—a spinoff of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis—follows the adventures of explorers who start off on a reconnaissance mission to the Destiny, a ship built by the Ancients, only to wind up on a never-ending mission when the crew learns the ship can't return to Earth.
Stargate Universe will premiere later this year and stars Robert Carlyle, Justin Louis, Brian J. Smith, Alaina Huffman, David Blue, Ming-Na and Lou Diamond Phillips.

Sweetness....so nice to have RDA back again if only for one episode for now! Gary Jones as always has been a fun character to keep around so good to see him back too.

Excellent news! Will enjoy seeing General O'Neill again...
GateWorld is providing excellent coverage of the Stargate Vancouver convention.

No surprise. They want all the fan who have left the franchise to come back ;) As long as they use RDA for drama, and not bad jokes.

I have no problem seeing RDA come back as Jack.
I do doubt however that it will be enough to give this series life.
And Jack has to have his sense of humor, that's what makes him ....Jack.

I love that the fact that the show is coming back on , but wish some of the actors were coming back like Amanda, Ben and Michael and of course Richard Dean Anderson I mean for good

It'll never be the same!!!!Just as stargate sg1 picked up itsgreatest momentum they cancel it. Why? Then we start to love the characters on atlantis,,they cancel it!This new show not going to go well there is no replacing those incredible casts and fantastic storiesit"ll alwys be a replacement show. So sad the greatness is gone.

Stargate was not the same without O'neil. Did not like it that much then. After he left the two main guys looked too much alike. I think Corin Nemec would have been a better choice to replace O'neil and he was different looking than Daniels. I do not like it when actors cut out before the show ends. It ruins it for me and other viewers.
