Timothy Dalton ("Licence to Kill," "The Tourist") will guest-star in a multi-episode arc on the network's action-comedy "Chuck" (Mondays, 8-9 p.m. ET).

Dalton will be playing a mysterious stranger who has a history with Chuck's (series star Zachary Levi) mom, played by Linda Hamilton ("Terminator," "Terminator II: Judgment Day"). This marks Dalton's first series appearance on American television since he guest-starred on "Charlie's Angels" in 1979.
