TONIGHT: Team Phoenix’s Last Mission

Ian teased on IG yesterday if he was doing his last ever ADR for MacGyver.

For all seen purposes, it seems likely it is.

If it is, we will say good bye to his character Russ Taylor with sadness and a thank you! Thank you to the writers and to Ian for bringing us a character, fans received with open hearts and big welcomes….and sadness because it truly feels like we just met him!

What else lies beneath his surface we may never know but we feel there was much more to see and tell about this wonderful character. He was a departure in many ways from Ian’s previous roles and it was so wonderful to watch him week after week!

Ian has a gift for lightheartedness and comical lines and MacGyver and Russ allowed him to show that side of his acting ability. In addition, Russ could be quite serious too and he lead Team Phoenix with direction and authority. We will truly miss him!

We wish all of the talented MacGyver cast……Lucas Till, Tristin Mays, Justin Hires, Meredith Eaton and Levy Tran, the very best in their future acting endeavors. We feel sure we will be seeing them all in other roles and projects! Our very best wishes to them all!

Thank you to CBS, MacGyver and Team Phoenix for providing us with quality entertainment week after week!

As a couple of Ian’s other characters would say……….’see you in another life’…….and ‘may we meet again!’

And as we’ll hear Russ say tonight………’here’s to the next chapter.’

We certainly hope so Russ, we certainly hope so!
