Joe Flanigan to guest star on "Warehouse 13"

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'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.

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

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;)

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

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...
