Battlestar Galactica co-star Jamie Bamber will appear on next week's season premiere of Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown! Bamber plays Lee "Apollo" Adama on SCI FI's hit series.
The episode airs Wednesday, May 31 at 9 p.m. Eastern/Pacific on the cable network, as Game 1 of the Season Eight tournament.
Bamber will be playing for charity against Bryan Cranston (Malcolm in the Middle), Jason Alexander (Seinfeld), Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm), and Kevin Sorbo (Hercules, Andromeda).
Future tournaments include such notable TV faces as Jorge Garcia (Lost) and Fred Savage (The Wonder Years).
Filmed in front of a live audience, each episode of "Celebrity Poker Showdown" features five celebrities competing against each other for the chance to win thousands to donate to the charity of their choice. Each week, a new group of celebrities meet at the table to go head to head until only one remains. The winner from each week's game will advance to the championship sixth game. To date, "Celebrity Poker Showdown" has given away $2,450,000 to charities around the world.
All celebrities this year will be playing for charities benefiting victims of Hurricane Katrina.
