Will you be working with that other sci-fi icon, Battlestar Galacticas Tricia Helfer?
Shanks: I don’t know. What’s funny is, because we shoot in Vancouver and she’s Canadian like me, we end up at all the same parties and I see her on the plane to Los Angeles. But I’ve never met her, so if I do have the chance to work with her on Burn Notice I look forward to actually speaking with her. And then you add Bruce Campbell to that mix and it just gets crazy. He’s one of those genre icons that I absolutely love. Every male actor my age has a big love for Bruce Campbell from his Evil Dead series and Army of Darkness. TV Guide: What’s happening with Rage of Angels, the sci-fi series you’re developing with Stargate buddy Chris Judge? Shanks: I’m told a very prominent show runner has attached himself to it and they’re working out the details of his contract. That should fast track it to production, hopefully next year. TV Guide: Don’t you play the ultimate Big Baddie? Shanks: Yes. I play Lucifer. In the first draft at least, things were playing out very dark and somewhat violent.
