Mario Van Peebles (New Jack City) will return to Damages this season, reprising the role of Agent Harrison.

Interestingly, Van Peebles was first brought on to the FX series to direct a few Season 1 episodes, and was then cast in a small role as the agent who asks Ellen to spy on her boss. Now, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Harrison will be back for six more episodes in Season 2 (which begins in early 2009) to make sure that the ethically challenged Patty gets what's coming to her.

Van Peebles is also on board to direct new episodes of FX's new biker drama Sons of Anarchy.

Are you excited for the eventual return of Damages -- and of Agent Harrison? — Mickey O'Connor

I'm super-excited, but I'm also bummed that we have to wait SO long for S2! Is this because of the danged writer's strike, too? That was settled so long ago, why couldn't Damages come back for the summer just like The Closer and Saving Grace...???

I love Damages and can't wait for Season 2.

When does Mario Van Peebles sleep? He also has a role on All My Children, as a Senator.

Yay! I hope this means he won't be on All My Children much longer.

I am MOST DEFINITELY excited about the return of Damages and more of Mario Van Peebles on it ... if only it wasn't soooo far into the future instead of NOW, or even this fall!!!
