When "Castle" tackles a Comic-Con-inspired episode later this season, the show will have the sci-fi bona fides to back it up.

"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" alum Armin Shimerman will guest-star as Benjamin Donnely, a tech geek who manufactures authentic props for people's costumes at sci-fi conventions, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

We hear he'll be a little too eager to show Beckett (Stana Katic) how all his guns work.



Additionally, the show has cast Christina Moore ("That '70s Show", "HawthoRNe") to play sci-fi star Stephanie Stern who has now gone on to a successful movie career.

The episode, which will be directed by "Star Trek: The Next Generation" vet Jonathan Frakes, will air later this fall.
