Tony Award winner Roger Rees will guest star as a priest on the January 13th episode of the new ABC drama series FOREVER.

In the episode titled "Diamonds are Forever" Henry and Jo's murder investigation of an ex-con, who is being framed for a jewelry story heist, reveals a special connection between the victim and Jo's late husband, Sean, who was an assistant district attorney. Jo's evocative memories reflect her warm and wonderful relationship with Sean, which become almost too painful for her to bear. Flashbacks trace Henry's life to 1816 London where he ends up in jail. Incredibly, a priest, who is his cell mate, gives Henry a second chance at life. Meanwhile, Abe attempts to snare a thief who he believes walked off with a "priceless" antique from his store, and Henry is there to comfort Jo in her time of distress, on "Forever," TUESDAY, JANUARY 13 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

"Forever" stars Ioan Gruffudd as Henry, Judd Hirsch as Abe, Alana De La Garza as Detective Jo Martinez, Lorraine Toussaint as Lt. Joanne Reece, Donnie Keshawarz as Detective Hanson and Joel David Moore as Lucas.

Guest starring are Roger Rees as priest, Shane McRae as Detective Hugh Dunn and Andy Karl as Sean Moore.

Rees, the acclaimed actor known for his roles on "Cheers" and "The West Wing" won a Tony Award for his turn in Broadway's The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby.
