Joe Flanigan to guest star on "Warehouse 13"

[wraithfodder]

Okay, it's not Stargate Atlantis, but it IS science fiction, so I find that a plus.

http://popculturezoo.com/archives/2837 broke the news today. Here's an excerpt:

We’ve just heard from SCI FI that Joe Flanigan (Stargate Atlantis) and Ivan Sergei (Charmed, Crossing Jordan) have landed guest starring roles on the new series Warehouse 13. The new original one-hour series stars Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, Allison Scagliotti and previously announced guest star CCH Pounder. The series is currently in production in Toronto and will premiere Tuesday, July 7 with a two-hour pilot starting at 9:00PM.

Warehouse 13 follows two Secret Service agents who find themselves abruptly transferred to a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota which houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government. The Warehouse’s caretaker Artie (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.

Joe Flanigan will be playing 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.

Okay, he'll probably be the bad guy (that's my guess - I've watched too much TV) but this explains why Joe is currently in Toronto! I was going to give the series a look-see, but now WILl watch to see who else from SGA also appears.

I thought the series sounded kind of interesting, but now I'm sure I'll watch (at least this episode!).
Thank you so much for the update!
(if you want to spend $15 I believe the sides for this ep are available)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I planned on checking it out for Saul Rubinek but now may hang around if they get SGA actors on it!

Oh, you're right, $15 would get me his part, but... I'd rather have no spoilers! I'm sure someone else will buy 'em and post the info :)

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for the heads-up.

Okay, he'll probably be the bad guy (that's my guess - I've watched too much TV)

Oooh, I hope so. I have a soft spot for his bad guys. :P

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

He did bad so well on CSI Miami :)

[elayna88.livejournal.com]

Whee! More Joe!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

The more the better!

[spike21.livejournal.com]

eeeeeeeeeeeeee! thanks for the heads up!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[agentcat47.livejournal.com]

Ooh, sounds cool! It's a shame it's not a cast role, but a guest star. I want more Joe!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hope he gets a new series, and a good one.

[agentcat47.livejournal.com]

Me too. You'd think hat since he's been the LEAD of a series for 5 years that he'd get something big. I've got my fingers crossed for him!!

[aqualegia.livejournal.com]

Great! I shall look forward to it :) I just hope they don't kill his character off - I really hate that.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Well, if he lasts long into the show and dies really well, I can accept death.

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the heads up!

Since its new part me wonders if this the show that offered him a role that he turned down becauseof the 6 year contract and the fact he'd have to fly back and forth again.

Yay for more Joe!

[tringasolitaria.livejournal.com]

Ha! I was just thinking about that, that maybe he was offered Eddie McClintock's part originally. :) Good to hear he'll be guest-starring though. I was going to check out the show anyway, but this gives me an added reason.

[tringasolitaria.livejournal.com]

On second thought, though...wasn't the show he turned down was in Vancouver, wasn't it? Not Toronto?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, show was in Vancouver from what I recall. This one lenses in Toronto.

[toomuchfandom.livejournal.com]

Joe is very good as a bad guy! *nods* Although... he wasn't really the bad guy in Birds of Prey, he was just misunderstood, like Mason Eckhart from Mutant X...

[yaboiksar.livejournal.com]

Joe as a bad guy...

NOM NOM NOM

[ann-tara.livejournal.com]

Yay! I was going to check out this show anyway because the previews looked like a hoot. This is simply a little more incentive. :D

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I suspect ratings for this episode will be good :)

[reen212000.livejournal.com]

You know he plays a great bad guy. And pouring on the charm too? Oh, my heart!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

He did charmingly evil on that CSI Miami :)

[reen212000.livejournal.com]

And Doppelganger. I think that's my favorite Joe-as-bad-guy role. That little evil smile as he clobbers Ronon.

*sigh*

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely watch now, just to see him at least :D

Maybe it's just because I'm having a down day, but this kind of worries me. Whenever actors go from being a star of a show to doing guest stars, its rare to see them in a main role again. I want to see more Joe, I really do, but as a regular character and not by chance as a guest star.

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Well he was offered a perm role on a show that he turned down because they wanted a 6 year contract and it involved going back and forth home. At the most recent con he said he was in the posistion to pick and choose, so I hope he's just getting his feet wet again.

I'd rather him pick something that's good then to go with ever he's offered.
BTW, would you PM me your e-mail for the writer's group, please :D

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

That does give me hope:D Every time a favorite actor's show ends, I tend never to see that actor again -ever. So now that SGA is over, I'm nervous about the same happening with Joe.

"BTW, would you PM me your e-mail for the writer's group, please :D"

Will do;)

[reen212000.livejournal.com]

Don't forget Joe's an old pro when it comes to guest starring roles. SGA was his first successful starring role. I'd love for them to release 'First Monday' on DVD, dammit! Personally, I think he likes picking and choosing. The man does love bein' a dad, so I'm guessing he likes hanging close to home.

Whatever his choices, me and TiVo will be waiting! LOL

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I want him in a new series, preferably with a scifi/paranormal bent so we can have good whump, preferably on CBS as their shows tend to last...

[spankys.livejournal.com]

Usually his guest-starring roles are so small. I hope he has a big part so we can see more of him! BTW, how did you know he was in Toronto (before hearing about this guest spot, I mean)?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

The Toronto information came from the failed AXN online chat. Apparently he was trying to do it from his hotel in Toronto.

[shepsgraypants.livejournal.com]

Good guy. Bad guy. I don't care. I'm just happy that there is finally going to be some Joe Flanigan on the small screen again! YAY!

Thanks, Wraithfodder!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

You're welcome :)

Joe is back!

[(Anonymous)]

That is awesome news!! Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to see it. Keep us informed if you see anymore news about the episode and when it might air. -Diane

Re: Joe is back!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Shall definitely do so :)

[cimmerdeux.livejournal.com]

I wasn't sure if I would check this show out or not (tend not to be home on Tuesday nights) but if Joe's gonna guest star I guess I'll have to watch. Now that's stunt casting I can get behind. Hey if the Burn Notice guy is one of the producers maybe Joe will show up on Burn Notice like Michael did?

I too would love to see him on a major network like CBS with a series that lasts where we can see him every week. I hope for the best for all the SGA actors.

You give the best info LOL.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that would be great if Joe showed up on BURN NOTICE! or a CSI. Wouldn't be the first time an actor did more than one of the CSIs...

[syble4.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see him in NCIS.

[scarym1.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the news. Will have to ask him about it at Dragon*con. : )

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

or if anybody is doing the Chicago con ...

[shansgrl.livejournal.com]

Oh I can't wait. I was going to check out the show anyway, but this ep is a shoe in.

If he plays a charming bad guy I think I will have a, well, you can guess. I know you try and stay spoiler free, but if you know if anyone posts the sides, can you give me a shout?

Dear Lord, I hope he can get a show soon....I miss seeing him every week.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'll post if someone posts the info from the sides ...

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! more of the Flan to drool over....even if he is only guest staring on it.

[syble4.livejournal.com]

You just made my goodish day a great day! Thank you for the info!!

[wandering-in.livejournal.com]

Hmm wonder if he's still in town. Will have to keep my eyes peeled...

P.S. I'm adding you as a friend, you're a great source of news!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hmm, yeah, maybe they're still filming?:)

Thanks for friending :)

[black-raven135.livejournal.com]

I just wish he could land a really good series role where his
acting talent can really shine
I believe at times it was kept in tow on SGA....save for
Conversion and a few others, but overall kind of under wraps
IMO.......
Thanks for this info......will watch for it.
