Nikita‘s second season begins next week, on Friday, Speptember 23 — and at the recent CW premiere party sponsored by Bing, we briefly caught up with actor Aaron Stanford, who plays nerdy tech guy Birkhoff on the series.
We’ve seen the season premiere and can confirm that yes, Birkhoff does have an interesting (and of course, funny) new role in the series. Here’s what Aaron had to say. We didn’t have a lot of time with him but what he did tell us was definitely interesting.

What is Birkhoff up to in Season 2?
A lot of dirt.
Whose side is he going to be on?
Well, things have changed since last season. He’s no longer with Division. He’s off the leash. He’s no longer constrained by Division; he’s a free agent. He’s kind of teamed up with both Nikita and Michael, but the great thing about Birkhoff is he’s ambiguous. You never really know whose camp he’s in. And this year is no different than last year.
Is Division going to have somebody to replace Birkhoff?
I think that they are, and I think that they’re planning on a possible little love entanglement between Birkhoff and his replacement.
