“I have to say it was a pleasure and an honor to have @hicusick on our show for the past 6 years,” Rothenberg tweeted. “The guy classed up the joint. Really helped us make the point that we were not a teen show. … Anyway, we will miss him.”

In “What You Take With You,” Kane made the ultimate sacrifice after waking up in his new body (Greyston Holt) and finding out what was really going on in Sanctum to destroy the Nightblood serum: he floated himself.
Before he did, he and Abby (Paige Turco) were able to say goodbye, and she saw him as Cusick, providing her and fans with a way to say goodbye to the man who played the character for six seasons. “This is how we get our humanity back,” Kane told her before his death. “May we meet again.”
Fans of Cusick won’t have to wait long to see him on their TV screens again. The actor joined MacGyver as a series regular in Season 4.
