Atlantis' Joe Flanigan, BSG stars to guest on Warehouse 13
Stargate Atlantis star Joe Flanigan will appear in SCI FI Channel's upcoming Warehouse 13, as will former Battlestar Galactica cast members Tricia Helfer, Michael Hogan and Mark Sheppard, SCI FI announced.
Other guest stars include Gossip Girl's James Naughton; Roger Rees of Cheers; Eureka's Joe Morton, Erica Cerra and Niall Matter; and Ivan Sergei from Crossing Jordan.
In the show, two Secret Service agents (Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly) find themselves abruptly transferred to Warehouse 13, a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota that houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government.
The Warehouse's caretaker, Artie (Saul Rubinek), charges Pete (McClintock) and Myka (Kelly) with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache at the Warehouse, as well as helping him to control the warehouse itself.
Following is a rundown of the guest spots
♦Sergei will play Ross, an EMT from Unionville, N.Y. Ross and some of the other townspeople begin to display bizarre behavioral symptoms—involuntary (and potentially dangerous) expressions of their subconscious desires.
♦Helfer stars as FBI agent Bonnie Belski, who clashes with Pete and Myka when they interfere with a case on her Chicago turf. But after the third inexplicable bank takeover, she finds herself willing to make use of their expertise.
♦Flanigan portrays the handsome and wealthy Jeff Weaver, whose charm captures Myka's interest. But he finds himself under Pete and Myka's scrutiny when a sculpture on which he bid vanishes in an impossible heist.
♦Naughton is Gilbert Radburn, a well-tailored, high-profile entrepreneur. When a competitor threatens his intended acquisition, Radburn's suspicious behavior brings him under Pete and Myka's scrutiny.
♦Rees is MacPherson, one of Artie's former Warehouse colleagues who has gone rogue and is now competing with the team to gather dangerous and powerful objects for his own use.
♦Cerra and Matter portray Jillian and Gary Whitman, small-time thieves on the Las Vegas strip whose fortunes, twisted by the strange power of a luck-inducing artifact, take a fantastic turn.
♦Morton stars as John Hill, a charismatic inmate and extremist religious leader in a Florida prison.
♦Sheppard is Mr. Valda, the enigmatic representative of the Regents, the mysterious organization that controls Warehouse 13. He disapproves of Artie's methods as the team leader of the Warehouse and isn't afraid to let him know it.
♦Hogan portrays Myka's father, Warren Bering, who receives a dangerous object anonymously in the mail that puts his life in jeopardy. Hogan's real-life wife, Susan, will play Myka's mother.
CCH Pounder, who appears in the pilot, returns in a guest-starring role as Artie's boss, Mrs. Frederic. Warehouse 13 will premiere July 7 with a two-hour pilot at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

I will watch it. Sure I'll give it a chance but for David Simkins, Joanne Kelly, Raoul Bhaneja and that 'Sam' storyline they're pushing in here ... I'd have rather you just continued The Dresden Files...

A whole of Stargate Atlantis fans will definitely tune in to see Joe Flanigan's guest appearance.

More Joe Flanigan,,,, Hell yeah!!!
By flanfan at 5:48 PM ON 05/28/09
I wasn't going to watch this show, but now that Joe Flanigan is guest starring, I definitely will.
By Pundit at 5:56 PM ON 05/28/09
Yes, yes! Flanigan!!!!
By Pundit at 6:00 PM ON 05/28/09
Oh, and Mark Sheppard. Always fun to watch. Is he getting tired of playing the evil henchman??? But then, he does it SO well.
By IsoTek at 11:03 PM ON 05/28/09
@Pundit...LOL Mark has now gotten into the angry beaurocrat role. He's was on Dollhouse recently. His dad is quite the actor too, the original Blank Reg from Max Headroom.
Though I was planning on giving the show a shot anyway, these little bits of special casting will make for some pleasant surprises....hopefully.

Awexsome!

I wasn't planning on bothering with this show, but with Flanigan on at least the first one, I'll watch and see.

I'll find the set here in Toronto *lol* where is Joe!!
By TNMulder at 9:31 AM ON 05/29/09
Yeah! Joe is back! Missed Mr. Flanigan and it will be good to have him back.

You would think in the article instead of saying & I quote " and Ivan Sergei from Crossing Jordan" it would say instead & again I quote " and Ivan Sergei from Charmed".
Now I know he was on both CJ for only a season but it's not scifi & Charmed (my fave show) is sort of. So why wouldn't they say that?
By cin at 2:44 PM ON 05/29/09
Thank God, I'm suffering major Stargate Atlantis withdrawal. Can't wait to see Joe Flanigan.
By Gen at 9:08 PM ON 05/29/09
Joe Flanigan and Mark Sheppard? Okay, you got me, I'll watch. :-D
By Shepmajor at 9:08 PM ON 05/29/09
Holy Flanigan! You betcha I'll be there for HIS eppy! WOOOOOOOOOT!!!
By Kirk at 1:33 PM ON 05/30/09
Just a way to catch some ratings (looks like its working).. good luck though.
By Mandy at 6:50 PM ON 05/30/09
tinmiss, Scifi is supposed to also cover supernatural / fantasy so yes Charmed should count.
By tinmiss at 12:55 AM ON 06/01/09
@ Mandy
My intention was not to say Charmed was not scifi, it is. I was saying that the Scifi Channel deals mostly with well... scifi stuff, like aliens, apocalyptic stuff, space ships & other weird stuff.
Like I said Charmed is my favorite show. I love all the action, comedy, spells & romance in it, not to mention the music & all the hot guys. That's what makes it great!!! It's better than Buffy & Angel & all other supernatural themed shows combined!!!
By divephotog at 6:45 PM ON 06/01/09
We are getting off the subject though, debating if Charmed counts as Sci-Fi (They already have Wrestling and Pseudo-science Ghosts, etc; don't give the programmers any more ideas on how to stray away fom the real Sci-Fi!!) It will be nice though, to see the guests in their appearances, and see how Saul does in his own series, having been a guest on a ton of other Sci-Fi fav's. - KH

OK. We have Joe Flanigan which is great now how about Paul McGillion? He'd be great! And David Nykl! Bue, most especially Paul! But I plan on watching just to see if it's worth seeing. After all, they had to have gotten the idea from the last scene in RAIDERS OF THEOST ARK plus last year's INDIANA JONES AND THE CRYSTAL SKULL. Right?
By Joanna at 9:58 PM ON 06/17/09
I totally agree about more Joe Flanigan. That man is HOT especially for a 42 year old man. And that chest, OMG he is beautiful. That adorable smile is so sweet, I get tooth pangs just seeing him. He is gorgeous. I miss him sooooooooo much!!

The ONLY reason I will be watching Warehouse 13 is for Joe Flanigan's guest appearance! Let's not forget Sci Fi and MGM pulled the plug on Stargate Atlantis to "keep costs down". It's Joe and his talent I support, not the corporate suits and bean counters at Sci Fi/ Universal!!! Glad to have you back in action, Joe!!!!
