Robert will guest lead on Stargate Universe where he will play Simeon in six episodes of season 2. The second season started filming on March 10th, 2010 and Robert will be done filming in June. It will start airing on the Syfy Channel sometime around October 2010.
In the casting call, the character was described like this:
"Simeon is a dangerous Lucian Alliance soldier. He was a seasoned criminal before being recruited by the Alliance. He's strong and intimidating but more crafty and wiry than big and muscular. Scary in that you're never sure what he will do. He also holds secrets that are desperately sought after by Earth and those on board Destiny - secrets he would die or worse, kill to protect. He's an antagonist for several episodes before he finally comes into serious conflict with Robert Carlyle's character Rush and they are forced to face off."
It has not been announced if Robert will be in six consecutive episodes, but the first six episode titles are as follows:
2.01 Intervention
2.02 Aftermath
2.03 Awakening
2.04 Pathogen
2.05 Cloverdale
2.06 Trial and Error
