“Party of Five” star Michael A. Goorjian is joining up for a guest role on USA Network’s “Covert Affairs.”

The actor will play Borz Altan, a former U.S. soldier who became disillusioned with the ideals of the “American Dream.” Annie (Piper Perabo) begins investigating Borz when she uncovers that he may be connected to an imminent threat.

Goorjian is best known for playing Justin Thompson, Julia’s (Neve Campbell) friend, and later boyfriend, on Fox’s “Party of Five.”
