Stargate: SG1 may have come to an end, in movie or TV form, but don’t worry for the cast, boys and girls. Everyone seems to have found something to do, or should, as you don’t star in a regular TV show for over 10 years and not have plenty of guest starring opportunities on other TV shows. TV just works that way. Once you’ve starred in a show, you’re offered jobs on other shows. Michael Shanks has taken up a number of offers, with a recurring role on the USA Network’s Burn Notice show, where he’ll be playing another burned spy who has to do the bidding of Carla, played by Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer, the same woman who burned the show’s lead, Michael Westen.

SyFyPortal has more on what Shanks has, and will be, up to:

Shanks, who did a three-part story in Fox’s “24″ last year, is now making a move over to “Burn Notice” on the USA network where he takes on a recurring role of a blacklisted spy named Victor.

The episode, which airs Aug. 14 at 10 p.m., features Shanks as a reckless man who doesn’t seem to care too much how many innocent people he victimizes. Shanks will have a chance to work with another popular science-fiction icon, Tricia Helfer of “Battlestar Galactica.” who plays Carla, uses Victor for her operations, sending him first to Miami where “Burn Notice” is filmed.

Even with his new somewhat regular gig on “Burn Notice,” Shanks has remained active in the Stargate universe. He recently appeared in the direct-to-DVD film “Stargate Continuum” and will reprise Daniel Jackson for an upcoming two-episode arc in “Stargate: Atlantis” on SciFi Channel. Shanks also has been busy on different telefilms that are being prepped for Lifetime, Hallmark and even the SciFi Channel.

Hopefully we’ll learn what Christopher Judge, Ben Browder, and Claudia Black are doing with their time now that the Stargate has been shut down. Amanda Tapping, we know all about; she’s got a new show coming out on the Sci Fi Channel very soon.
