FlashForward alum Courtney B. Vance will guest star on ABC’s soapy-serial Revenge.

Vance has signed for four episodes as a new arrival that factors into the aftermath of the beach murder.

More specifically, Vance will play a loyal employee of the Conrad (Henry Czerny) and Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) and described as someone “who gets caught up in a public scandal and romantic entanglement that Emily [Emily VanCamp] will leverage to further her agenda against Conrad and Victoria.”

Vance will make his Revenge debut in Episode 16.

FlashForward may be cancelled but some fans have refused to see the future that ABC has given them. Various campaigns are underway to persuade the alphabet to bring the show back from the cancellation graveyard – including a planned blackout across cities around the world on June 10th.

• Television Without Pity: FlashForward Cast in the Future.

It was the premise of FlashForward that drew us in, but we stuck around for the great performances, bizarre plot twists and crazy action scenes. But now, before we even get to see what happens when the long-anticipated moment of truth arrives, it’s looking like FlashForwardis in danger of becoming a flash in the pan. (Meaning cancelled.) We hope it doesn’t, but if it does, the talented and occasionally very funny cast should have no problem getting new jobs. In fact, here are some ideas for what their next professional steps should be.
