SciFi Wire is reporting that actor/singer Isaac Hayes and actor George Dzundza will be appearing in Stargate: SG-1 this year. From SciFi Wire on 17 August:
‘Isaac Hayes (South Park) will guest-star in the upcoming Stargate SG-1 two-part episode “Reckoning,” along with Mel Harris (reprising the role of Oma) and Cliff Simon (as Baal). Hayes, who recently completed a role in SCI FI’s upcoming two-hour film Anonymous Rex, will also guest-star in the upcoming episode “Threads,” along with George Dzundza.’
Isaac Hayes is probably best known now as the voice of Chef on South Park, though he is also a musician and has appeared in many movies including the 2000 remake of Shaft. Dzundza is a highly talented character actor (Law and Order, Dangerous Minds, Crimson Tide).
It’s possible that either Hayes or Dzundza will be playing the role of Mike, the ascended being who talks with Daniel about his choices, though we do not yet know if Mike will be a character in all three episodes. If not, then it’s likely that Dzundza will be playing him.
The 3-part story comprising ‘Reckoning’ and ‘Threads’ promises to be a welcome return to the Ascended story arc that will address some of the mysteries of the Ascended and Daniel’s short time among them. We look forward to seeing both actors take their turn in the Stargate universe. Dzundza is an engaging actor, and Chef is very, very cool.
