Executive Producer Scott Rosenbaum says the show isn’t done with Michael Trucco’s story line yet.. ” John May may return,” he tells TVGuide.com..

When Trucco first appeared as the Fifth Column Resistance Leader in an April episode, it was discovered that Ryan ( Morris Chestnut ) had actually already killed May, as shown in a flashback..

But is John May actually alive? ” That’s what they hinted to me,” Trucco tells us.. ” I thought, ‘ OK, he’s dead, but he’s coming back?’ They’re like, ‘ Nope, he’s dead..’ I wrote that off as a one – off [ Appearance ], but they made some indication that maybe he’d come back..”

In the interim, Trucco has signed on to USA’s legal drama Facing Kate, but since both shows shoot in Vancouver, another V cameo seems feasible.. ” I would do it again,” the actor says.. ” I think it would be a great twist.. I would love to resolve that character and see a little bit more into what made him John May..”

Fancast has learned exclusively that the star of yes, ‘MacGyver,’ as well as ‘Stargate SG-1‘ will appear on at least five episodes of the fall series, which stars the totally gorgeous Sarah Shahi (’Life’) as Kate Reed, a top-flight litigator who leaves her firm to become a mediator.

Anderson’s ‘Facing Kate’ role is that of David Smith, a charismatic but secretive man who enters Kate’s life shortly after the death of her father. In short order, it is revealed that David has deeper connections to the Reed family.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why did producers think you were the right man for the role?
Michael Trucco: I wasn’t totally familiar with the show, but I know in a situation like this, the dynamic between the two leads is very important. It’s not unlike the situation when I came in to Battlestar Galactica. There’s a lot of parallels there because my character [Anders] also came in to thwart the relationship between the two leads on that show, much in the same way this one is designed to throw a wrench in the works. It’s a tightrope for a character to come into a show, especially one that has such a strong fanbase as Castle, one that is gaining such traction, one that is based heavily on the potential relationship between Castle and Beckett. So I tried to make this character really likable, really believable, so that the audience can relate to Beckett and her potential attraction. If you come off as smarmy or sleazy, you end up being the bad guy in the end, then it just feels like the audience gets cheated. So, I wanted to put a real challenge in front of the characters and say, “We kinda like this guy.” At least that’s what I’m hoping for.

I think you succeeded in your first episode, and you’re right: When a lead falls for someone who’s so clearly not worthy, if affects how much you like her. It’s too out of character.
Yeah. It’s also on the page. I like the scene where Demming checks with Castle to make sure there’s nothing going on between them. It’s sort of the guy code that he check with Castle when he’s starting to express his feelings for Beckett. That’s a stand-up guy. That’s the right thing to do.

Have you heard from fans on the street? What’s been the reaction?
Not necessarily on the street, it’s still early. I have this masochistic tendency to look online and check reaction when episodes like this air. You know, there’s something about the anonymity that can be brutal. [Laughs] Sometimes it is better out of sight, out of mind. There are such dedicated die-hard fans of the Castle-Beckett dynamic, you come in and upset that dynamic, and people react. That just speaks to the power of this show and the writing — people are that into it. But I think it’s been going both ways. The most important thing is to illicit some reaction, good or bad. If some people are repellent to me, so be it. If some people are attracted to me, great. At the end, that’s the object of entertainment — you want to provoke a reaction. Hopefully, we’ve achieved that.

Michael Trucco has revealed that he wants his Castle character to be "a stand-up guy".

The actor made his first appearance in the show last week as Tom Demming, a love interest for Beckett (Stana Katic).

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he explained that he wants the audience to like his character, even though he is obstructing a possible romance between Beckett and Castle (Nathan Fillion).

"I tried to make this character really likeable, really believable, so that the audience can relate to Beckett and her potential attraction," he said. "If you come off as smarmy or sleazy, you end up being the bad guy in the end, then it just feels like the audience gets cheated. So I wanted to put a real challenge in front of the characters and say, 'We kinda like this guy'. At least that's what I'm hoping for."
