LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Mario Van Peebles will return to the lineup of FX's Glenn Close legal drama "Damages" in a recurring role.

The actor/filmmaker will appear in six episodes of the show, reprising last year's guest-starring role as Agent Harrison. His acting duties stem from his stint as a director on a couple of episodes last season.

Van Peebles also is set as a director on FX's new drama series "Sons of Anarchy," which revolves around a notorious outlaw motorcycle club's efforts to protect their town from drug dealers and local corporate developers.
