Supernatural

Looks like The CW has found a new go-to guest star.

Fresh off his stint as Hawkman on Smallville's special February 5 episode ("Absolute Justice"), Michael Shanks has landed a role on Supernatural.

According to TV Guide Magazine, the Burn Notice and Stargate SG-1 alum will portray a character named Rob, who is part of a local militia. He is married and has a son - but a loss will force Rob to dedicate himself solely to a cause.

What might this cause be? Supernatural viewers will need to tune in and find out.
