As HIC fans said goodbye to one of Ian’s characters, Marcus Kane……last week also held the introduction of his newest character, MacGyver’s Russ Taylor!
As fans know Ian was recently signed to join the cast of the CBS show and he was on set shooting the first episode of the new season!
He joins cast mates Lucas Till in the title role, Justin Hires as Wilt Bolzer, Tristin Mays as Riley Davis, Meredith Eaton as Matty Webber and Levy Tran as Desi Nguyen.
Shooting officially began on Monday, July 8th in Atlanta, Georgia.
We’re excited for this new chapter of Ian’s career and wish him all the best with it!
Ian tweeted a selfie of himself and his new cast mates and there were a few other BTS photos released during the first week’s shooting too. Here’s to many more!
Last week, July 9 on The 100’s 9th episode of it’s sixth season, ‘What You Take With You’, fans tearfully had to say their goodbyes to Kane, as Ian’s 100 character closed out his story on the show, by floating himself. If you were following the story, you know Abby had put Kane’s mind chip in another man’s body after Kane had passed away. Greyston Holt portrayed Kane in this new body.
It was something, though, that Kane could not live with and ultimately knew Abby wouldn’t be able to either.
Fans were on both sides of the fence on this and on how his and their story ended….but in the end, all of them agreed on one thing…..we saw the end of a brilliant character, who’s performance by Ian these past 6 years, will remain in the hearts of many and be remembered always.
Below are a few press articles on Ian’s departure from the show, followed by a few caps of his final scene with Paige Turco (Abby Griffin).
Ian was live tweeting with fans during his final episode and had this to say when it was over:
All things end and that's was Kane's. Thanks to @JRothenbergTV and all the cast crew writers directors of #the100 but especially to you #kabby and #kane supporters, your passion and support over the years has been truly wonderful and I love you guys for that! May we meet again X

Henry Ian Cusick (The Passage) has joined the cast of CBS’ action drama MacGyveras a series regular for its upcoming fourth season.
Cusick will play Russ, a lead opposite Lucas Till’s MacGyver. Russ is handsome and quick-witted Oxford-educated ex-military who is a master manipulator and salesman — skilled in propaganda and lie detection with an extremely high emotional intelligence. A very wealthy man, he’s used to getting his way and not beyond enjoying the spoils of war: expensive suits, fast cars, private jets, house in Monte Carlo.
Cusick is the second major new series regular cast addition to MacGyver for next season, along with Levy Tran, who was recently promoted after joining as a recurring last season. The cast expansion follows the exit last season of original co-lead George Eads. Cusick is the same age as Eads, and their characters have a similar ex-military background, so it is plausible that the dynamic of the MacGyver-Russ relationship could be similar to the rapport MacGyver had with Eads’ Jack.
Cusick, best known for his roles on Lost and The 100, is coming off a co-starring role on the Fox vampire drama The Passage. He is repped by Buchwald, Management 360, and attorney James Feldman.
MacGyver, produced by CBS TV Studios, also co-stars Tristin Mays, Justin Hires and Meredith Eaton. In other changes for next season, Terry Matalas is replacing Craig O’Neill as exec producer/co-showrunner alongside Peter Lenkov. James Wan, Henry Winkler and Lee Zlotoff also executive produce. CBS TV Studios produces in association with Lionsgate.

Disappointed fans, as well as cast and crew received this unexpected news! Needless to say Ian, along with his fellow cast members were looking forward to bringing more of this fantastic story based on the Justin Cronin books to us all. Sadly it appears that will not happen now…..

The 100 is back with it’s sixth season and in the season premiere, titled Sanctum….. we saw Ian’s character Marcus Kane wake up from surgery much to Abby’s delight and fans’ delight too! She shared the good news with him of the discovery of the new planet and both shared a moment of peace and joy.
That moment didn’t last too long however when Octavia appeared and started to argue with Kane. Still weak from surgery and his movement during the argument caused him to suffer a rupture of his sutures, leading him to hemorrhage and suffer a heart attack. Before viewers knew it, Kane was unconscious again and barely alive but going back into cryo! Part of Abby’s plan to once again, try and save the man she loves. Will she be able to a second time? That’s the question on fans’ minds and hearts and while we feel sure we’ll know that answer at some point in the season, it’s a waiting game for now!
Tune in Tuesday nights at 9/8 PM on The CW for each new episode of The 100!
Check out The CW’s official site for latest 100 news….. CWTV.comh
Joining fans everywhere today to wish Ian a day that is fabulous in every way!
Ian would be the first to say……..
“Thank you fans for all the love and support!”

The provocative new science fiction horror tale, Chimera, tells the story of a mad scientist who crosses ethical boundaries and enters into a world where science becomes unholy black magic. Henry Ian Cusick (The Passage, The 100, Inhumans) stars as Quint, a scientist who studies the real-life Turritopsis jellyfish in an effort to save his children from their terminal condition.
Directed by first-time filmmaker Maurice Haeems, Chimera resembles a mix of classic “mad scientist” science fiction, horrific body horror tales of the 1980s and beyond, and the visually stunning color-coded sterility of modern day auteurs like Shane Carruth and Nicolas Winding Refn.
While promoting the release of Chimera, Henry Ian Cusick spoke to us about the fascinating pedigree of director Maurice Haeems, starring in a science fiction film with a small budget but big ideas, and what it’s like to shoot a movie and being forced to wait, potentially for years, before it eventually gets released to the public. He also shares some insight into his status as a Latino actor who generally doesn’t get cast in roles which allow him to speak Spanish on screen.
Chimera Strain Exclusive Interview: Actor Henry Ian Cusick on Immortality
Mankind has always tried to find a way to put an end to mortality. Be it with the Fountain of Youth, spiritual enlightenment, or scientific means, it’s been the subject of countless stories. Such is the case with Chimera Strain, the latest sci-fi drama from writer-director Maurice Haeems, which hits VOD and select theaters today!
LRM Online had a chance to discuss the film with its star, Henry Ian Cusick, who plays a scientist named Quint. In the film, he freezes his children as he races to find a cure by using the DNA of an immortal jellyfish. In our discussions, we discuss immortality and taking creative risks on not-so-obvious projects.
