'AFRO SAMURAI' ADDS LUCY LIU: Actress joins Samuel L. Jackson in Spike TV's two-hour sequel.
*Lucy Liu will lend her voice to Spike TV's two-hour sequel to "Afro Samurai," the animated series starring Samuel L. Jackson in the title role.
In "Afro Samurai: Resurrection," the 39-year-old Asian American actress will play Sio, a seductive and sadistic mastermind out to destroy Jackson's samurai, reports the Associated Press.
"When we first created the character of Sio, we knew that Lucy Liu would be perfect for the role," said executive producer Leo Chu. "We thought we owed it to ourselves to at least ask her, never dreaming that she would say yes."
Mark Hamill is also slated to star in "Afro Samurai: Resurrection," playing a servant and protector to Liu's character.
The movie is set to premiere on Spike TV in January.
