NBC's
Chuck - which apparently is in an off-the-books contest with
30 Rock to see who can guest-cast the most and biggest - has added another arrow to its quiver.
Gary "Yeah, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come into work on... Saturday" Cole will be swinging by the espio-medy in the role of secret agent Sarah's father for a single November sweeps episode, a show rep confirms. The news was first reported by
Entertainment Weekly.
Cole most recently appeared on primetime as
Desperate Housewife Dana Delany's abusive ex.
Other "names" checked by
Chuck this coming season include
Nicole Richie,
Michael Clarke "I was going for intimidating" Duncan,
Bruce Boxleitner and
Morgan Fairchild (as Capt. Awesome's parents),
John Larroquette and
Tony Hale. -
