Christopher Heyerdahl Talks Sanctuary, Shanks

** Warning — Sanctuary Spoilers below ***

Christopher Heyerdahl, who played multiple roles on Stargate and now plays John Druitt on Sanctuary, spoke to Sci Fi Wire about the upcoming Season 2 of Sanctuary. In particular he gave some details about the role Stargate’s Michael Shanks will play. Warning, this quote contains spoilers!

“This episode is called ‘Penance,’ or at least that’s what it’s called now. Basically, we have a special guest star, who is Michael Shanks. He’s playing a wonderful departure from what we’re used to seeing him. The two characters that spend most of their time together are Michael’s character, Jimmy, and Kate Freelander [played by new cast member Agam Darshi]. They end up together and discover they share a similar past. They’re a couple of streetwise wanderers who find their lives have a very surprising similarity. It’s a pretty cool episode because it’s a mystery search story, as well as those two characters getting together to fight for their lives.”
