After playing James
Carter in the short lived Rush Hour TV series for CBS, Justin Hires has joined Lucas Till and George Eads in yet another
reboot the network is currently pursuing, MacGyver.
A
reimagining of the classic series, is an action-adventure drama about
20-something Angus "Mac" MacGyver (Till) who creates a clandestine
organization within the U.S. government where he uses his extraordinary talent
for unconventional problem solving and vast scientific knowledge to save lives.
Joining his team on high-risk missions around the globe is maverick former CIA
agent Jack Dalton (Eads). Under the aegis of the Department of External
Services, MacGyver takes on the responsibility of saving the world, armed to
the teeth with resourcefulness and little more than bubble gum and a paper clip.
The project has been through some ups-and-downs since the pilot, losing most of its cast except Till and Eads. Hires will play one of the four new series regulars added to the show.
The actor will play Wilt Bozer, MacGyver's determined roommate. Hires credits also include Key and Peele, Stomp the Yard, and 21 Jump Street.
Peter Lenkov, Craig O’Neill, James Wan, Golden Globe Award winner Henry Winkler, Lee Zlotoff and Michael Clear are executive producers for CBS Television Studios in association with Lionsgate.
