Bowie May Guest On Alias

SPOILERS!

Alias co-star Kevin Weisman, who plays gadget geek Marshall, told SCI FI Wire to expect more spy toys, more Marshall action—and possibly a ziggy guest star in the upcoming second season. In an interview at the ABC Primetime Preview Weekend at Disney's California Adventure theme park, Weisman revealed that rock star David Bowie may make an appearance on the ABC spy show next year, joining a list of stellar guests from last season that included Quentin Tarantino.

"With me, there's a lot more weapons and gadgets," Weisman added. "And [creator] J.J. [Abrams] has promised me that I will be venturing out on a mission this year, so watch out for some Marshall ass-kicking, or for Marshall getting his ass kicked, which is probably more of a likely scenario. However, I'm looking forward to that."

Weisman said that the Alias cast is currently in production on the second season's fourth episode. "There's some good stuff," he said. "In this last episode, we've created a luge that Sydney [Jennifer Garner] has to ride through a kind of ... ice field. It's a luge that goes over 150 mph, and that's pretty cool. And some retinal scanners we just used. There's a lot of good stuff coming up." Alias kicks off its second season Sept. 29 in its regular 9 p.m. Sunday timeslot.
