James Callis talks to IGN about his new role on Eureka

IGN TV: What can we expect from Dr. Grant? 

James Callis: Expect the unexpected, I would say. He's not like anyone I've played before. And who knows if I'll play someone like him again. In fact, you've never met somebody like Dr. Grant before.

IGN: He's returned to Eureka, having lived there before. What kind of baggage is he bringing with him? 

Callis: He definitely comes with a past. Indeed. But meets Allison and Allison has now become his present and his future, if I can put it that way. Or at least he'd like her to be. And so they're slowly moving toward that "end." But, he's a former resident of the town and the town isn't quite how he remembers it or pictures it. Everybody's slightly different and there's this weird guy who's the sheriff now and Grant wonders, "Is this guy really the sheriff?"

Things have changed slightly, in the sense that when Grant was living there years before, things weren't necessarily so metro-sexual. People weren't free and easy with each other. The sheriff wasn't cool with everything. I imagine in my own mind that Grant imagines that there should be a slightly more hard-nose law-guy running things. Grant is not someone to be messed with. He's got his own ideas and he's not a push-over.

Wil Wheaton Moves To 'Eureka'

Wil Wheaton, the child actor that appeared in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as Wesley Crusher, has landed a guest appearance on the popular Syfy series. He will pop up in “All The Rage,” the third episode of the upcoming fourth season and, will take on the role of yet another genius, Dr. Isaac Parrish.

The character also happens to be the head of the Non-Lethal Weapons Lab at Global Dynamics and his attitude will apparently cause some discontent with the other characters, particularly with Fargo (Neil Grayston).

"I've had the script for a little while now, and I've been getting to know Dr. Isaac Parrish as I convert the words on the page into a person you'll see on television," Wheaton wrote in his very popular blog. "I obviously can't go into any specifics, but I've had a great time developing his backstory, creating his relationships with the characters, giving him secrets and beliefs, and doing all the other parts of character creation that make being an actor so much fun."

Wheaton said he had to catch up on "Eureka," and spent an entire weekend watching DVDs and reading about the show on the Internet.
