Michael Trucco co-stars alongside Richard Dean Anderson

What happens when you combine bicarbonate of soda, a wad of chewing gum, white vinegar, and a makeshift fuse fashioned from a Marlboro Light? You get Richard Dean Anderson guest-starring on the upcoming USA Network series ‘Facing Kate.’

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.

Earlier this month, Anderson reprised his role of ‘SG-1’s Jack O’Neill on Syfy’s ‘Stargate Universe.’

Shahi’s ‘Facing Kate’ costars include Michael Trucco (’Battlestar Galactica’), Virginia Williams (’Monarch Cove’) and Baron Vaughn (’The Awkward Comedy Show’). Production began June 16 in Vancouver.
