MacGyver has some new company. Deadline reports Levy Tran has joined the CBS TV show’s third season.
A reboot of the ’80s action drama, the series centers on Angus “Mac” MacGyver (Lucas Till), a 20-something adventurer who uses his vast scientific knowledge and extraordinary talent for unconventional problem solving to save the world. The cast also includes Tristin Mays, Justin Hires, and Meredith Eaton.
On MacGyver, Tran will be playing “Desiree Nguyen (Desi), who joins the Phoenix Foundation to protect MacGyver (Lucas Till) and his team on their global missions.”
Tran is joining the CBS series just afters fans said farewell to regular cast member George Eads, who plays Jack Dalton. But is that really the last we’ll see from Eads?
According to co-star Justin Hires (via TVInsider), Eads could return:
I mean, George is leaving… I look at it as a break. I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back.”
What do you think? Do you watch MacGyver? Will you keep watching without Eads?
George Is a key figure in cast would not watch with him
He needs to come back.
I don’t think the show has the same charisma without Eads.. Jack. Really tied all the characters together. Its a shame he can’t separate work on set from any personality differences.
I enjoy the show and it should stay on a Friday night as it has in the past and definitely bring George back
I will still watch but I’m really hoping George Eads will return, just not the same without him.
I’ll watch the show but it’s not the same without Jack. The chemistry between him and MacGyver was fantastic and it has not been duplicated yet.
Anyone Can makeup bad remarks about people. So before people put their bad views. Think about this. Actors do what they believe is right. It’s their actors minds not the crazy fans made up lies.But the story made up people are problem
This is to all the people with they coments about George eads he left the show people he did not care for others or macgyver this actor did the same in another show in the past the other actors are good enough about him he was getting old and not good looking
Tran stinks
I agree with Irwin. To me she act like she is taking over the show I don’t like this. The others can take over the show and it will be pretty good. I haven’t decided if I will watch the show this time or not
I really hope he comes back in Season 4. He and Mac were an AWESOME team!
I will continue to watch but will miss Jack. I hope this is just a break for him and that he returns to the show. He was my favorite character on the show.
I’ll keep watching but I’ll miss George as Jack Dalton. I sincerely hope he returns from time to time but maybe he’s burned too many bridges at CBS. He’s crazy talented, I wish he could have figured out a schedule he could have managed and still had time for his daughter. Best of luck to him.
