In 2018, Cross made a brief guest appearance in Syfy's mind-bending, time-traveling series 12 Monkeys, a loose adaptation of the 1995 film of the same name, which starred Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. Cross appears in two episodes of the fourth and final season as Nicodemus, a member of a family whose mission is to protect the Ouroboros, a special artifact passed down through time. Nicodemus lives in the distant past and is the father of Chorus, a young girl who, like Jennifer (Emily Hampshire), hears voices. She helps Jennifer escape after she was imprisoned for supposed witchcraft, at which time Jennifer is able to reunite with Cassie (Amanda Schull) and Cole (Aaron Stanford). Nicodemus tells the team that messages received over the years have told his family to find a weapon — a weapon the team had been searching for all season — and he reveals exactly where they can find it.
