Tahir, 49, will portray Ahmed, an arrogant and steely-eyed Lebanese agent who is known for being cautious and ruthless.

Tahir will appear in the third episode of Burn Notice's sixth season, which premieres this summer on USA.

In addition to his role as Starfleet Captain Richard Robau in 2009's Star Trek, Tahir is best known for playing the villain Raza in Iron Man. On the small screen, he has guest starred on 24, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, NCIS: Los Angeles and, most recently, Supernatural.
