"Kill Bill" co-star Vivica Fox and her fast-talking director Quentin Tarantino will guest star on ABC's "Alias," two of a slew of high profile cameos on ABC shows planned for the next two sweeps periods.

In the Sunday, Feb. 15 episode titled "After Six," Fox will play a rogue security system designer.

Astute "Alias" viewers may have been expecting the Tarantino appearance. The "Pulp Fiction" Oscar winner and sometime thespian appeared in the two-part episode "The Box" during the show's first season, playing McKenas Cole, a former SD-6 agent turned freelance rogue. The character's employers and motives remained somewhat ambiguous.

During Sunday night's (Jan. 11) episode "Full Disclosure," Jennifer Garner's Sydney Bristow finally uncovered many of the secrets of the missing two years of her life. During the episode, Tarantino made an unaccredited voice cameo that should serve as foreshadowing for his future appearance.

Tarantino's appearance in "After Six" is described as relatively small, closer to a cameo.

ABC also announced that "Home Improvement" star Jonathan Taylor Thomas will return to the network to do a three-episode arc on "8 Simple Rules" starting in February.

Fellow Tuesday night comedy "I'm with Her" will welcome Brooke Shields as a rival to Teri Polo's Alex Young. The series is somewhat based on Shields' relationship with the show's creator, Chris Henchy. The series will also feature Penny Marshall and Joan and Melissa Rivers for an Oscar-themed episode. "Station Agent" star Peter Dinklage and Cybill Shepherd are set for future appearances as well.

Seth Green will drop by "Married to the Kellys" and in May, Sandra Bullock will return to "George Lopez."
