Iron Man and Star Trek actor Faran Tahir will be guest starring on Tuesday night’s episode of Syfy’s Warehouse 13.

Here’s the press release, courtesy of the network:

NEW YORK – August 30, 2010 – Faran Tahir (Star Trek, Iron Man, 24) guest stars as one of the mysterious and powerful Regents – the shadowy governing body charged with keeping the Warehouse safe – in Syfy’s hit series Warehouse 13 on Tuesday, August 31, at 9PM (ET/PT).

Tahir stars as Regent Adwin Kosan, sent to the Warehouse to handle a burgeoning crisis. His rare appearance and shocking pronouncements threaten to tear the Team apart.

Warehouse 13 follows two Secret Service agents who find themselves abruptly transferred to a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota which houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and preternatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government. The Warehouse’s caretaker Artie (Rubinek) charges Agents Pete Lattimer (McClintock) and Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly) with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache at the Warehouse, as well as helping him to control the Warehouse itself. Allison Scagliotti plays Claudia, Artie’s apprentice.

In addition to Tahir, Warehouse 13 season two guest stars include Lindsay Wagner (Bionic Woman), Judd Hirsch (Taxi), Jaime Murray (Dexter), Tia Carrere (Wayne’s World), Jewel Staite and Sean Maher (both from Firefly), Neil Graystone (Eureka), Rene Auberjonois (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), Paula Garces (Defying Gravity), David Anders (Heroes, 24), Nolan Gerard Funk (Drake & Josh), Philip Winchester (Crusoe) and as well as WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes (Friday Night SmackDown).

Warehouse 13 is produced for Syfy by Universal Cable Productions. Jack Kenny (The Book of Daniel) is Executive Producer and Showrunner.

Warehouse 13 received its first ever Emmy nomination in 2010 with Ed Rogers nominated for Outstanding Main Title theme music.
