Mary McDonnell and Jamie Bamber at a 2014 Battlestar Galactica reunion event in Hollywood, CA hosted by the LA Times.

The President and Captain Apollo, reunited?

MajorCrimesTV.net has learned that Jamie Bamber, who starred as Lee “Apollo” Adama alongside Mary McDonnell on the hit SyFy Channel series Battlestar Galactica will once again pair up with his former leading lady for episode 403 of Major Crimes.

The episode, scheduled to air June 22nd, features Bamber as “a pompous celebrity photographer with boundary issues”, according to the episode description.

Our only question is, will someone utter a “so say we all” for old times sake?

Don’t forget to tune in for the Major Crimes season 4 premiere, Monday June 8th at 9pm/8c on TNT!

“In the TNT drama’s Season 2 finale, airing Monday, Jan. 13, at 9/8c, Rusty already is facing his greatest challenge yet when he takes the stand to testify against serial rapist/murderer Phillip Stroh. But complicating the case even further, the D.A.’s office must go head-to-head with Ryan’s character Linda Rothman, a tough, powerful attorney who doesn’t let morals stand in her way of winning a case. (Gee, wonder why Stroh picked her.)”

TVLine also reveals that Jon Tenney will return for the final episode of the season as well.

How would you describe your role on Major Crimes?

Malcolm-Jamal Warner: I play Lt. Chuck Cooper, a SIS detective who investigates high crimes suspects, big time robberies, and kidnappings. The Special Investigation Section are the guys the LAPD call in to do the heavy lifting.

Could this two episode arc lead into a recurring role down the road?

MJW: Anything is possible. I would like that.

Having been on TV on different shows for many years, what was the attraction to doing this series?

MJW: I like single camera work versus multi-camera. I’m also a fan of the cast of ‘Major Crimes.’ Mary (McDonnell) and I work together off-Broadway about three years ago, so it was great working with her on television.

Playing an authority figure is new for you.

MJW: Yeah. I’m always looking to do roles I haven’t done before and that was one of the attractions to doing the show.

Had you watched any of the episodes or ‘The Closer’ prior to doing your arc?

MJW: Yeah. I was a fan of that show and the cast members who went on to ‘Major Crimes.’

Besides the two episodes that you are in, what’s a good reason to watch Major Crimes?

MJW: I think it’s a good show with a really great cast. All of the actors are very strong, so whenever you have a show with a strong ensemble, it’s very interesting to watch.

The winter episodes of Major Crimes promise to bring lots of action, excitement and some “major” guest-star power.

On his Facebook page, series creator James Duff teased about the lineup for tonight’s episode: “Bill Brochtrup and Esai Morales of NYPD Blue fame guest star on tonight’s episode of Major Crimes. “Jailbait” by Ralph Gifford and Carson Moore, directed by Mike Robin (who also directed the pilot of The Closer). Great performances from our guest cast and series regulars.”

Fan-favorite Kathe Mazur also reprises her role as DDA Hobbs in tonight’s episode.

Looking forward, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, of The Cosby Show fame, will be appearing in two episodes. Of his role TV Guide says, “Appearing in the Dec. 30 and Jan. 6 episodes, the onetime Cosby kid will play Lt. Chuck Cooper, a SIS (Special Investigation Section) supervisor brought in to help protect Raydor’s ward Rusty from his stalker, at all costs.”
