Good news everyone. TV Squad reader Kim points us to a myspace entry from Mark Sheppard revealing that he has just been added to the cast of Bionic Woman, as a series regular. I say it's good news because Sheppard is one of those actors that has been great in short lived roles on a number of shows, but never had that one big role. This has the potential to be his breakout.

Many people will recognize him from his role as Badger on Firefly, or his recent run on Battlestar Galactica as Romo Lampkin. In case you missed it though, one of my favorite Sheppard characters is his semi-recurring gig (one episode each season) on Medium as Dr. Charles Walker/Jack Walker. He also had a nice six episode run on day 5 of 24. Along with those more notable roles, his credits include one or two episode stints on another 20-odd shows. With this news, The Bionic Woman has vaulted to the top of my must-see list for the fall.
