Majors to appear on show similar to his own

According to "The Six Million Dollar Man" star Lee Majors, there's a little synchronicity working in his guest appearance on tonight's episode of UPN's "Jake 2.0," called "Double Agent."
Majors' wife was perusing Web sites using his name when she came across a message-board posting saying that Majors should appear on "Jake," since both shows are about men who become secret agents after being physically enhanced through technology.
"I saw a little bit of one episode and said, 'It is like "Six Million Dollar Man."' I didn't say 'ripoff,' because I didn't know the people at the time. I thought it was borrowed," Majors says. "It was weird, but a month later, I went over and talked to the producers."
In the case of Majors' Steve Austin, cybernetic implants and artificial limbs gave him super-strength and speed. In the case of "Jake 2.0," Chris Gorham's NSA tech Jake Foley was accidentally infected with molecule-sized robots, or "nanites," that, in addition to physical powers, allow him to interface with technology.
In "Double Agent," written by executive producers David Greenwalt and Silvio Horta, Majors plays Agent Fox, brought out of retirement to deal with a Cold War fanatic threatening to explode a "dirty bomb" in Washington, D.C.
Meanwhile, Majors is glad to hear that Jim Carrey is starring in the movie version of "The Six Million Dollar Man," planned for 2005.
"I think it's brilliant," he says. "I always wanted to do a Steve Austin farce myself, and if they tried to do it straight now, it would be rather boring and pass & eacute;. With the 'Matrix' stuff now, it made 'The Six Million Dollar Man' look like a laugh. I can't wait to see it."
