BACKSTROM: WAREHOUSE 13’s Eddie McClintock to Guest Star

WAREHOUSE 13’s Eddie McClintock is heading to the upcoming Fox series, BACKSTROM, a rep for the show confirmed.

McClintock (who first announced his casting on Twitter) will play Lieutenant Sam D’Agostino, Backstrom’s (Rainn Wilson) childhood bully. According to the studio, “When they were kids, Sam was a rotten, thieving punk, responsible for stealing from Backstrom…[and] in cahoots with his equally rotten brother. All grown up now Sam and his brother are firefighters who everyone thinks are heroic but Backstrom is convinced they’re the same worthless bits of slime they always were.”

BACKSTROM follows Detective Backstrom — a crime-solver whose methods aren’t always conventional — and his cohorts at Portland Police Bureau’s Special Crimes Unit. The series also stars Dennis Haysbert, Page Kennedy, Beatrice Rosen, Thomas Dekker, Kristoffer Polaha, and Genevieve Angelson.

McClintock has previously worked with BACKSTROM creator Hart Hanson on BONES (which Hanson also created, and where McClintock played Sully), and most recently appeared on CASTLE as Beckett’s forgotten husband.
