Secret Service Responds as 2 People Shot Near White House
The U.S. Secret Service is responding to reports of two people being shot near the White House less than one month after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting.
“We are aware of reports of shots fired near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW and are working to corroborate the information with personnel on the ground. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available,” the Secret Service tweeted on Saturday, May 23.
A Secret Service spokesperson told Us Weekly that the agency was “gathering information and will have more on this incident shortly.”
“FBI is on the scene and supporting Secret Service responding to shots fired near White House grounds – we will update the public as we’re able,” FBI Director Kash Patel tweeted shortly after the incident.
CNN reported that reporters on the ground heard gunfire coming from the corner of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest in Washington, D.C., with speculation that the gunfire may have emanated from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building side of the White House.
ABC News White House correspondent Selina Wang shared video of her live report from the premises being interrupted by what appeared to be loud sounds of gunfire. She ducked for cover before the video footage cut off.
“I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots,” Yang, 33, tweeted. “It sounded like dozens of gunshots. We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now.”
Reporters were reportedly told to shelter in place while locked down in the White House press briefing room.
Us reached out to the White House for comment.
This latest incident occurred just shy of one more after Cole Tomas Allen allegedly opened fire in the lobby of the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25. Allen, 31, allegedly struck a Secret Service agent in crossfire before he was apprehended. (The White House later confirmed the Secret Agent was shot in his protective vest but taken to a local hospital for treatment.)
President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance and numerous other administration officials were inside the Washington Hilton ballroom at the time of the shooting and were quickly evacuated.
Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk was seen being rushed from the ballroom in tears moments after the shooting. Kirk, 37, later called the shooting “another traumatic example of the evil in our country and the continued rise in political violence.” (Erika’s husband, conservative activist Charlie Kirk, was fatally shot at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on September 10, 2025. A 22-year-old man was later charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice and witness tampering. He has yet to enter a plea.)
Following Allen’s arrest, he was charged with attempting to assassinate the president, interstate transportation of weapons and discharge of a firearm during a violent crime. He pleaded not guilty during a May 11 court hearing.

NC Gov. Orders Flags at Half-Staff In Honor of Kyle Busch
The country is continuing to mourn the loss of and pay tribute to NASCAR legend Kyle Busch after his untimely and shocking death.
“Kyle Busch was not just a talented and record-setting driver; he was also a kind person,” North Carolina Governor Josh Stein said in a statement shared via the North Carolina Department of Transportation on Friday, May 22, announcing that he has ordered all “U.S. and North Carolina flags at state facilities to half-staff” in honor of the late racer.
“His loss will be felt throughout the entire NASCAR community and well beyond,” the governor continued. “Anna and I send our deepest condolences to the Busch family during this incredibly difficult time. May his memory be a blessing.”
The governor has ordered flags to fly at half-staff from sunrise on Sunday “through sunset Sunday, May 24,” to pay homage to the racer, who died on Thursday, May 21, after a brief hospitalization for a serious illness.
“We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sports’ greatest and fiercest drivers,” the official NASCAR social media account announced via X at the time. “We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.”

On Saturday, a rep for the Busch family confirmed the late racer’s cause of death to NBC News, telling the network that the late athlete died of pneumonia that progressed “into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications.” Busch is survived by his wife, Samantha, and his two children: son Brexton and daughter Lennix.
The same day that Busch’s cause of death was confirmed, his racing team paid a silent tribute to the athlete at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
“A silent garage pays its respect as the No. 22 @RCRacing Chevrolet unloads at @CLTMotorSpdway,” NASCAR wrote via X, alongside a video showing the late driver’s team unloading his vehicle.
The blue, white and red Chevrolet adorned with the Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen logo was unloaded in complete silence. The car’s number was changed from No. 8 to No. 33, though a small No. 8 decal was seen on the door of the vehicle.
On Friday, NASCAR announced that the RCR team “opted to shelf the No. 8” that Busch last drove, switching to the car No. 33 for the foreseeable future. The team indicated it will reserve Busch’s No. 8 for his son “when he is ready.”
In Governor Stein’s Friday announcement, the politician urged others to honor the NASCAR driver by also lowering their flags.
“Individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties and other government subdivisions are also encouraged to fly flags at half-staff for the duration of time indicated,” the announcement read in part.

Marvel’s Forgotten 2-Part Series Is a Hidden Gem Worth Binging This Weekend
It’s no secret that, good or bad, audiences still love the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Between Wonder Man, Daredevil: Born Again, and The Punisher: One Last Kill, the 2026 calendar year has been explosive for the MCU on the small screen. As superhero series continue to dominate the charts, there’s one Marvel hidden gem within the MCU that remains a vital part of the mythology and lore that deserves to be rediscovered: Agent Carter.
An early entry into the MCU, pre-Disney+, the two-part espionage thriller follows Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) as she works with the Strategic Scientific Reserve while on a secret mission to clear Howard Stark’s (Dominic Cooper) name. In a post-World War II setting following Steve Rogers’ (Chris Evans) “death,” Peggy balances grief, misogyny, sexism, and romantic entanglements on a journey to protect the world. Agent Carter, which holds an 87% overall Rotten Tomatoes score, masterfully captures everything fans loved about the Captain America films while exploring one of the MCU’s most beloved yet underrated characters.
‘Agent Carter’ Highlights One of the MCU’s Greatest Hero
Across two seasons, Agent Carter gave viewers a taste of ’40s espionage as Peggy, a master spy and combatant, teams up with Stark’s butler, Edwin Jarvis (James D’Arcy), on a coast-to-coast mission that showcases her intellect and sheer determination. Proving that a true superpower is using being underestimated to her advantage, Agent Carter was colorful, high-octane, and unlike anything the MCU had introduced at that time.
Led by the exceptional Atwell, the series gave Peggy the platform to prove that she’s always been one of the greatest heroes. Now ten years later, Agent Carter maintains an important legacy in the MCU. Prior to the Disney+ run of original series, Agent Carter was the only solo female-led MCU story. And unlike many of the beloved heroes, she was “ordinary” in the sense that she lacked superhuman or mutant powers. Peggy was extraordinary in her sheer brilliance, her prowess on the field, and her ability to stand up to the powers trying to silence and take her down.
‘Agent Carter’ Served as a Perfect Bridge Between the MCU on Film and Television
Having already won fans’ hearts on the big screen, Peggy made a seamless transition to a solo series, giving audiences a reason to continue their MCU watching beyond the blockbusters. The series served as a wonderful bridge between the early Marvel films and the larger superhero agencies presented, showing they are much more than plot fodder. By establishing continuity, Agent Carter fleshed out crucial connections, including personal character stakes, and showcased the direct origins of S.H.I.E.L.D. The first season delved deeply into the emotional and mental effects Captain America had on Peggy. It gave her the fight to honor his legacy. By Season 2, any romantic adoration she had had in the past was put aside, giving her a new coworker to fawn over: Daniel Sousa (Enver Gjokaj). Agent Carter served as brilliant character building for a supporting character now stepping into a leading role.
‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Director Officially Addresses MCU Spoiler Concerns
Remember #DontSpoilTheEndgame?
Though fans saw what the MCU looked like in a historical setting with Captain America: The First Avenger, this series used that time period to its advantage. Agent Carter’s setting serves as a wonderful backdrop for the spy thriller, striking the right mix of vibrant comic-book camp, separate from the other MCU series airing at the time, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Carter was, comparatively, a tad more grounded in street-level action, though Season 2 did introduce some cosmic elements in the Atomic Age. Other big connections to the broader MCU came through Anton Vanko (Costa Ronin), the father of Iron Man 2 villain Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), and, unsurprisingly, Hydra is still present with Arnim Zola (Toby Jones), who shared a prison cell with hypnotist Johann Fennhoff (Ralph Brown), who was encouraged to rebuild the organization.
‘Agent Carter’ Deserved More
Call it poor timing or a lack of interest, but Agent Carter was cancelled after two seasons. And yes, it ended on a major cliffhanger that the MCU has yet to address. Not to spoil it, but let’s just say it’s nearly as epic as the “Who shot J.R.” twist from Dallas. Agent Carter deserved better. Being a supplement series during Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s hiatus may have intensified superhero fatigue, but Agent Carter would have thrived as a Disney+ original. Peggy remains an inspiring figure in the MCU, and, given how timelines and multiverses work, she will return in Avengers: Doomsday. Until then, Agent Carter is an addictive binge-watch with exceptional storytelling and just the right amount of MCU lore to keep viewers engaged.
Agent Carter is available to stream on Disney+

8 Thriller Shows That Are So Great, You’ll Want to Watch Them Twice
Thriller shows have always held a special place in the hearts of audiences, providing endless entertainment through their suspenseful stories and fascinating characters. Most of the time, however, knowing the twist at the heart of a thriller show can take all the fun out of any potential rewatch. But not always.
The best thriller shows, the true masterpieces, are the ones that deliver perfect or near-perfect narratives that make each rewatch a rewarding experience. Whether it’s your first time or 15th, with these shows, you’re always in for something truly spectacular. Without further ado, here’s our handpicked selection of some of the most perfect thriller shows that are so good, you’ll want to watch them twice (at least).
1
‘Fargo’ (2014–2024)
Created by Noah Hawley, Fargo is an anthology series based on the 1996 Coen Brothers film of the same name. The series follows a collection of crime stories taking place in and around Minnesota, where the interwoven lives of a diverse set of characters, including law enforcement, criminals, and civilians, collide with deadly outcomes. Each season explores a completely new story, each darker than the one before, with minor overlaps between seasons. The show features a huge ensemble of characters played by Martin Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton, David Thewlis, Carrie Coon, Jessie Buckley, Jon Hamm, and more across different seasons.
Though only the first season of Fargo is actually adapted from the film, the overall production of the show is heavily influenced and inspired by the storytelling style of the Coen Brothers, which comes out in the show’s cinematography, tone, and impeccable art design. Since its premiere, the black crime comedy has earned widespread acclaim, earning seven Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards. Packed with crime, drama, suspense, and intriguing characters, propelled by powerful acting in every season, Fargo is unarguably one of the best crime thriller shows of the century so far.
2
‘Breaking Bad’ (2008–2013)
Created and produced by Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad chronicles the life and crimes of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), an overqualified, undervalued, out-of-work chemistry teacher, who finds himself staring down a cancer diagnosis. Desperate to support his family, he enlists the help of a former student, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), to make and sell crystal meth, and soon gets sucked into the deadly and dangerous world of drug cartels. Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Giancarlo Esposito, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, and more star in key supporting roles.
Breaking Bad was a career-defining performance for Cranston, who remarkably showcases a wide range of emotions as the story’s hero, villain, and victim, and for Paul, who delivers an equally compelling performance as the secondary lead. A groundbreaking crime thriller series for its time, the show’s layered characters, gritty narrative, and complex themes redefined how audiences look at crime stories. Every season of Breaking Bad is almost perfect and highly rewatchable, and the series is considered one of the greatest TV shows of all time, having earned numerous accolades and developed a worldwide fan following.
3
‘The Innocent’ (2021)
An adaptation of Harlan Coben’s eponymous novel directed by Oriol Paulo, The Innocent (El Inocente), is a Spanish-language psychological crime thriller that centers on Mateo (Mario Casas), whose life goes haywire after he accidentally kills a man. Years later, as he tries to rebuild his life, a mysterious call forces Mateo to revisit his past and face his demons, pushing him down a dark and dangerous path that threatens everything, including his life. The series also stars Alexandra Jiménez, Aura Garrido, José Coronado, and Anna Wagener in supporting roles.
Intelligently crafted and well-acted, The Innocent is a brilliant psychological thriller with masterful storytelling, but it’s far too often overlooked. The series is anchored by Casas’ performance as the complex protagonist, which truly draws the audience in with his raw emotions and suspenseful character arc. Edgy, unpredictable, and practically flawless, the series intrigues and shocks you at several turns. One of the most underrated Spanish-language shows on Netflix, The Innocent is a testament to television done right that’s worth watching again and again.
4
‘Dark’ (2017–2020)
A sci-fi mystery thriller created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, Dark is a German series that revolves around a mysterious disappearance in the small, fictional town of Winden. As the investigation uncovers the town’s past, involving four estranged families, it exposes a dark time travel conspiracy that spans several generations of the town’s residents. The ensemble cast includes Louis Hofmann, Karoline Eichhorn, Lisa Vicari, Maja Schöne, Moritz Jahn, and more in key roles.
Dark is a uniquely elevated thriller that explores themes of free will, destiny, and the existential implications of time on human life through a time travel paradox plot that will scare and fascinate you at the same time. The narrative successfully combines high-concept sci-fi with philosophical and supernatural elements, psychological horror, and crime. The storytelling feels like an intricate puzzle, full of twists and curious characters, where the mystery unfolds so deliberately that even Stephen King considers it to be a show worth watching. Since its premiere, Dark has been widely praised for its concept, direction, music, visual effects, and performances.
5
‘Sherlock’ (2010–2017)
Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, BBC’s Sherlock is a modern reimagination of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary detective and his most iconic cases. Set in 21st-century London, the series follows Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his new roommate-turned-partner Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman) as they embark on a series of adventures, with Sherlock using his unparalleled mind and strange methods (and a little bit of modern technology) to solve uncanny crimes and beat his biggest nemesis, James Moriarty (Andrew Scott). Gatiss, Rupert Graves, Una Stubbs, Amanda Abbington, and Louise Brealey star in other main roles.
Widely regarded as one of the best Sherlock Holmes adaptations of all time, Sherlock is sharp, slick, and cleverly written, with a narrative that feels like a contemporary detective procedural while retaining the spirit of the original stories. Reimagining and restructuring the original Sherlock Holmes stories for a modern audience, the BBC show excels in its masterful cinematography, intricate storytelling, and great visual design. But above all, Sherlock is most noteworthy for the performances and chemistry of Cumberbatch, Freeman, and Scott, who have effectively redefined the legacy characters they portray.
6
‘Broadchurch’ (2013–2017)
A mystery thriller series created by Chris Chibnall, Broadchurch follows Detective Inspector Alec Hardy (David Tennant) and Detective Sergeant Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) as they solve complicated crimes in the titular, fictional English coastal town. The first two seasons center on the mysterious death of Danny, an 11-year-old boy, and its aftermath on the small community, while the third season focuses on the duo investigating the rape of a local woman. The ensemble cast also includes Jodie Whittaker, Andrew Buchan, Arthur Darvill, Carolyn Pickles, Jonathan Bailey, Matthew Gravelle, and Charlotte Beaumont.
A well-scripted and well-acted crime thriller, Broadchurch stands apart from the more common cozy, small-town English mysteries with its intense, slow-burning exploration of darker themes. Powered by the gripping performances of Colman and Tennant, as well as the remarkable cinematography, Broadchurch is easily one of the best British detective series of modern times that genre fans would love to rewatch. The series has also earned three BAFTAs and several other awards for its distinguished storytelling, cinematography, and performances.
7
‘True Detective’ (2014–Present)
Created by Nic Pizzolatto, True Detective is an anthology crime drama thriller series, where each season follows a self-contained story involving a disparate set of characters and settings. The series focuses on uncanny crimes, mostly homicides, across different locations within the United States, exploring how the local detectives search for truth and justice, even as they are forced to question their own beliefs and knowledge. True Detective boasts a huge ensemble of A-list stars across seasons, including the likes of Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Colin Farrell, Michelle Monaghan, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn, Mahershala Ali, and Jodie Foster.
True Detective is noted for its neo-noir narrative and the intimidating atmosphere that pervades every season. With stories ranging from Southern Gothic thrillers to urban corporate crimes and involving a wide array of intriguing characters, settings, and events, the series offers diverse stories to satisfy all kinds of genre fans. Since its premiere, True Detective has been critically acclaimed for its stories, direction, acting, and overall production values, winning several Primetime Emmy Awards, a BAFTA, and several other accolades.
8
‘Black Mirror’ (2011–Present)
Created by Charlie Brooker, Black Mirror is a speculative fiction anthology series set in an indeterminate dystopian future where various characters navigate the impact of state-of-the-art technology in their personal, social, and professional lives. The narrative uses tropes of sci-fi, dystopian drama, crime fiction, and tech-noir to comment on contemporary social, cultural, and behavioral issues. Black Mirror features a massive ensemble cast each season, and has starred the likes of Miley Cyrus, Salma Hayek, Daniel Kaluuya, Peter Capaldi, Awkwafina, Benedict Wong, and more.
While Black Mirror is inspired by The Twilight Zone and often compared to the television classic, the British anthology thriller is more avant-garde and incisive in its approach, pushing the boundaries of storytelling as we know it. In every season, the series explores different narrative styles and themes, including psychological drama, surrealism, existentialism, space-adventure, dark humor, and even supernatural elements. Since its premiere, Black Mirror has evolved into a groundbreaking series that defies classification by genres and styles, and remains one of the best sci-fi series of the last 25 years, which feels more relevant and timely with every watch.

Apple TV’s Newest Sci-Fi Epic Needs To Avoid This Series Mistake
Apple TV has been firing on all cylinders when it comes to science fiction adaptations on TV, and the streamer’s crown jewel hasn’t even debuted yet. Apple ordered a 10-episode adaptation of Neuromancer by William Gibson back in 2024, and it has been filming for over a year now. The series was created for TV by Graham Roland and J.D. Dillard, and by now we know all the big talent in front of the camera and behind it. Considering Neuromancer‘s stature in the sci-fi genre, it’s hard to imagine this show being anything less than a blockbuster hit. However, when it comes time to renew the series, there will be some major issues no matter how it moves forward.
Neuromancer is credited with kicking off the cyberpunk subgenre as we know it — though Gibson himself has disputed this claim. Regardless, it’s one of the most influential sci-fi books of all time, and it’s the first installment of Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy. That’s where the issues with TV continuity come in. Neuromancer will make for an excellent 10-episode series, and when it does, fans and studio execs will be clamoring for more. However, Gibson’s two sequel novels — Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive — have completely different characters and set pieces from Neuromancer, which means TV adaptations would not be able to carry over the most beloved cast members or iconic scenery.
Apple TV’s ‘Neuromancer’ Isn’t Planning For The Future
While we don’t have a trailer or a release date for Neuromancer yet, we’ve already learned quite a bit about the series, and fans can infer even more from the information we’ve been given. The main cast of the series includes Callum Turner as the hacker Case, Briana Middleton as his mercenary partner in crime Molly, Dane DeHaan as their loose canon associate Peter Riviera, and Mark Strong as the orchestrator of their heist, Mr. Armitage. Other colorful characters include the wealthy heiress Marie-France Tessier (Clémence Poésy) and her bodyguard Hideo (Joseph Lee), along with Case’s ex-girlfriend Linda Lee (Emma Laird).
Mild spoiler warning here — a major problem with the TV adaptation is that only one of the characters mentioned above ever appears in the second and third novels of Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy. Neuromancer even introduces readers to some non-corporeal artificial intelligence characters in cyberspace, but they take on completely different forms when they show up again in the later books, making them unrecognizable. The second and third books DO have more shared characters between them, but even then they’ll need to be aged up and likely recast.
In Gibson’s books, these tenuous connections work perfectly. Readers can take immense satisfaction in recognizing a veiled allusion to the previous novel, and they can take the time to get attached to new characters and locations as well. It’s not that simple on the screen, where fans will be heartbroken when their favorite character doesn’t show up at all in future seasons. Even if audiences were ready to invest their time in this unique approach, studios would be unlikely to greenlight it. From their perspective, it would be like starting from scratch with little to no brand recognition and a whole new marketing campaign. They wouldn’t be able to rely on popular actors from the first season to help promote the next one.
‘Neuromancer’ Should Be Setting Up a ‘Sprawl’ Series
There are a handful of solutions to Neuromancer‘s continuity issue, though all of them require some alteration to Gibson’s work. That’s not necessarily a bad thing for an adaptation — it’s practically inevitable — by as it is, one strategy already seems to be off the table. Roland and Dillard could have found ways to organically include the key characters from Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive into this first season, priming fans for them to take center stage later. This would have shown confidence in the series and put a little pressure on the studio to renew it. To be fair, this could still be the case, but so far none of those characters have been announced by Apple TV.
Another option would be to change or expand the sequel stories so that they include some Neuromancer characters more actively. This could work, though the scope of changes required would inevitably put some fans off the adaptation at that point. It would also risk overshadowing the new characters introduced in the later stories. All in all, it’s not the best option, but it seems the most likely based on what we know so far.
Finally, Apple TV could decide to leave Neuromancer as a miniseries, standing alone with no epic sci-fi timeline to follow. It wouldn’t be the worst fate for the show, but it would be disappointing to fans who know what comes next for this cyberpunk dystopia. Some of Gibson’s best writing comes in the latter two books, and his near-future setting just begs to be explored to the fullest. If the show attains the success its source material deserves, it’s hard to imagine it will be left without a sequel for long. Perhaps Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive could follow as a related-but-separate miniseries. That would do the Sprawl justice and push the TV sci-fi genre forward at the same time, but it would be a surprising move for a TV studio.
The fact that fans can’t guess exactly what’s coming or how Neuromancer will be adapted is ultimately a testament to the strength of the work. Gibson’s book is more than a checklist of one-liners and visual spectacles to check off on TV — it’s an essential fixture in the sci-fi genre and in our culture at large. You can find Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy and other writing now in print, digital, and audiobook formats if you want to get ahead. Neuromancer is coming soon to Apple TV, but it has no release date yet.

Stewart McLean’s Pal ‘Knew There Was Big Trouble’ Before Death
Stewart McLean’s friend and fellow actor, Jeff Seymour, had a feeling something was wrong after the Virgin River alum went missing.
“He was meticulous about everything and there would be no chance he blew it off or slept too late,” Seymour told the Canadian Press on Friday, May 22. “As soon as I heard he didn’t make it on Saturday morning, I knew there was big trouble.”
McLean was reported missing earlier this month after he was last seen on May 15 at his home in Lions Bay, British Columbia, Canada. The actor was found dead after his remains were recovered one week later by local police on Friday. He was 45.
“It was really a wonderful week, and then I heard this, and it’s just, it’s so hard to comprehend when something like this happens,” Seymour told the outlet. “It just doesn’t make any sense. He was incredibly situationally aware.”
According to Seymour, he became “fast friends” with McLean eight years ago when the then-aspiring actor attended his coaching session.
“I don’t know how anybody could get the drop on Stew,” Seymour said of McLean’s disappearance, suspecting foul play. “It’s so crushing, and it hits me in ways I’ll suddenly think, ah, Stu, and I realize I can’t call him now.”
He continued, “Everybody loved this guy, it wasn’t like he was in nefarious activities or, you know, kind of ran with another crowd. I mean, he was a bit of a loner. He spent a lot of time reading and being at his home out there in Squamish.”
A homicide investigation into McLean’s death is ongoing.
“It’s just a shocker,” Seymour stated. “I would love to see justice served.”
McLean’s talent agent, Jodi Caplan, confirmed her client’s death hours earlier on Friday.
“It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved client, Stew McLean. I was fortunate to have worked with Stew for more than 10 years,” a Facebook statement read. “He was always such a pleasure to deal with — dedicated, professional, eager and endlessly funny!”
Caplan concluded, “Many casting directors have reached out to share their condolences with Stew’s family and with our agency, and every message says the same thing: what a truly great guy he was, and how deeply he will be missed.”
In addition to appearing in one episode of Virgin River season 7, McLean’s previous credits include Supernatural, Arrow, Blue Steele, Travelers, Beyond, The 100, Siren, Murder in a Small Town and Cloud Van Tales.
