First off, there's The X-Files star Annabeth Gish.  FlashForward's executive producer Jessica Borsiczky revealed to Zap2it at the Paley Fest that we should expect the actress on the show.

But the big news is that Battlestar Galactica's James Callis will be appearing on the ABC drama.  It won't be easy to forget him as the legendary Gaius Baltar, but he may have yet another memorable role on his hands.

According to TV Overmind, the renowned actor will be playing an unusual character who has a relationship with Olivia.  And we thought Lloyd Simcoe already had that covered.

James Callis will be portraying the mysterious Gabriel McDow.  Actress Sonya Walger told the publication about the guy, pointing out how "strange" and important he is to her character Olivia.

"Olivia meets this strange character who seems to know an enormous amount about her future, and is very definitive about what he knows [...] and the reason he knows so much about Olivia's future is that it turns out he has had multiple flash-forwards," she revealed.

If that isn't enough to tease you into watching FlashForward, there's another star in line for an appearance.  TV Guide reports that Crossing Jordan's Ravi Kapoor will be portraying Malik, who meets Aaron Stark (Brian F. O'Byrne) in Afghanistan.

While that epic name-dropping has already convinced us of how great FlashForward could get in the coming weeks, there's more to it.  Jessica Borsiczky enumerates several other guest stars on the video below.
