As I heard it he was a huge fan of the series and wanted to appear on
it.

He was given the role of the cocksucker archeologist, but thought the
Soul Hunter was a more interesting role, and asked for that.

The character being young and inexperienced and learning English as
the episode progressed really didn't work.  Instead of the character
looking confused the actor looked like he was bored and phoning it in.

Then, of course, came The West Wing.
