Wouldn't surprise me either; it invariably happens to at least one actor at this stage of it though I suspect his started earlier. I only watched half of the first season before I checked out. I fell in love with Grace Park in Battlestar Galactica so wanted to see more of her but this wasn't going to be a strong series for her.

Maybe just due to his family name - Caan? Lisa0825 Jul 2017 #14
