Fans of Chuck, prepare to be transported to Nerd-vana.
Following the casting of Quantum Leap’s Scott Bakula as Chuck’s dad, sources confirm to me exclusively that another sci-fi icon has been tapped for the show. Robert Patrick, a.k.a. the T-1000, is slated to appear midway through the third season.
But rather than coming from the future, Patrick will play Col. Keller, a mysterious figure from Casey’s past in “Chuck Versus the Tic Tac,” which I hear will be a big episode for Adam Baldwin’s newly-minted colonel.
Sadly for all you Buy More shoppers, there’s still no definitive news on Chuck’s return date. (Additional reporting by Keith Staskiewicz)
This is AWESOME!!
Yeah this is awesome…wait a second…Robert Patrick sucks
Could he be Casey’s dad? Oh man, please?
Actually, no… he’s only 3 years older than Baldwin. That wouldn’t work. Older brother maybe?
You’re right, they are only 3 or 4 years apart, but they look more than that. (Baldwin looks REALLY good for 47!)
Baldwin looks REALLY good for any age!
Great scoop – can’t wait for Chuck season 3!
Really, REALLY good!
Holy crap! Baldwin is 47?!?! No way! I don’t believe it! Yes, they totally look related. I was thinking dad too, but I’ll buy uncle or older brother.
first oh so heavenly…
and a T1000 in a geek show… Niiiice.
I reckon he will be caseys dad, he looks like him a bit doesn’t he!
Sweet!
Would it be too much to hope for Casey’s dad? The similarities are definitely there.
Additional reporting? How many words did he provide?
awesome, same guy from The Unit!
CAn’t wait for chuck to start again!

your not first
interesting.. even more interesting would be the return date XD
I’m calling January 18th. Anyone in for a bet?
Oh thank God we finally get a spoiler not regarding the B/S relationship between Chuck and Sarah!
These two worked together on X-Files final season.
Nice catch. I keep forgetting how many shows he’s been on before.
As disappointed as I am about not yet having a return date, I’m buoyed by the fact that Chuck got an additional episode order and that they continue to hire guest stars.
Actually, another sci-fi icon appearing on Chuck was Bruce Boxleitner (of Tron fame) playing Aweson’s dad.
Also from Babylon 5.
Now they need to bring in Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Amanda Tapping (how about some female Sci-Fi Icons), and Michael Shanks and Richard Dean Anderson.
No, No, a thousand times NO!!!! We do NOT need SG1 appearing on Chuck.
Robert could easily play Casey’s dad, he looks old enough compared to Adam.
Roll on season 3.
OMG! That’s awesome. Geez, I love this show.
AWESOMENESS!!!!
Bring CHUCK asap please!!
