As revealed in TVLine’s Winter Preview special, ABC’s "Castle" this winter/spring will be butting heads with a Russian as well as paying a visit to the police academy where Beckett trained. And now we have two faces to put to those episodes.
TVLine has confirmed that "Spartacus" vet Nick E. Tarabay will guest-star in an upcoming episode as Vasily Zhirov, an agent with the Russian Diplomatic Security Service.
“We get a little Red Heat action,” co-showrunner Alex Hawley told TVLine, referring to the 1988 culture-clash comedy that paired Jim Belushi with Arnold Schwarzenegger. “We have a diplomatic security agent from Russia who comes, because there is the death of a Russian national. He’s a big character.”
"Californication" alum Ellen Woglom will appear in Episode 15, which takes us to “the police academy where Beckett was a star, back before she became a cop,” Hawley says.
Woglom plays a cadet with whom Kate forms “a bit of a mentor relationship.”
