Actor Michael Shanks will make the first in a series of guest appearances on the hit FOX series 24 next week, Monday, April 30, according to fan site Michael Shanks Online. Shanks -- SG-1's Dr. Daniel Jackson -- will play a Washington lobbyist named Mark Bishop, a new love interest for Lisa Williams (Kari Matchett), assistant to Vice President Noah Daniels (Powers Boothe).
The actor recently discussed his role in an interview with GateWorld.
"There's a storyline that is going on with the President this year, and an attempted assassination on D.B. Woodside, who plays the President -- President Palmer," he said. "And then taking over for his character is the Vice President. And so there's an on-going storyline that is involved in the White House that I'm part of.
"My character is a lobbyist, Mark Bishop, who is in a sort of covert relationship with one of Vice President Daniels' staff. And that will sort of come to fruition in a lot of different ways. And the character also has an ace up his sleeve, as well. So there is a lot more intrigue that goes on than is immediately apparent."
Shanks will appear in several episodes between now and the end of the season. The opportunity also reunited him with director Brad Turner, who directed several episodes of Stargate SG-1.

Great. Even more soap opera themes for the show. /s
Gotta keep the lady viewers happy - these days they have lots of dough and heavily subsidize the advertisers. ;-)
