12 MONKEYS: Christopher Lloyd To Guest Star On Syfy Show’s Third Season

Christopher Lloyd To Appear In Syfy’s 12 Monkeys

Emmy Award-winning Taxi and Back to the Future actor Christopher Lloyd is set to play a guest role on Syfy’s 12 Monkeys.

Over the course of his long career, Lloyd has made a name for himself as one of the most talented actors to appear in both film and television. From early appearances in such movies as One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest to guest appearances on recent TV programs like Psych, Lloyd remains highly recognizable to this day:

Llloyd will play Zalmon Shaw, a charming but deadly cult leader who preys upon other’s tragedies and losses in order to recruit new members into the apocalyptic cult the “Army of the 12 Monkeys.” Shaw is the father of the series’ most imposing villain, the enigmatic Pallid Man.

The series follows the journey of James Cole (Aaron Stanford), a man from the future sent back in time to stop the malevolent “Army of the 12 Monkeys” from destroying the world. Also starring are Amanda Schull, Kirk Acevedo, Emily Hampshire, Barbara Sukowa, and Todd Stashwick. In season three, Cole (Stanford) and Cassandra Railly (Schull) embark on a desperate search across time to find the man responsible for the apocalypse, a time traveler who calls himself the Witness.  Killing the Witness will mean saving the world. But the journey will come at tremendous personal stakes for both Cole and Railly and will call into question new alliances, old bonds, and the virtue of the mission itself.
