Actor Jon-Erik Hexum tragically died during filming. On October 12th 1984, he became bored with the filming delays that were taking place so began playing Russian roulette with what he believed was a harmless .44 Magnum prop gun and jokingly placed it to his temple and pulled the trigger. The shot sent the wadding from the blank cartridge at Hexum’s skull, driving a bone fragment the size of a quarter coin into his brain causing massive haemorrhaging. Hexum was rushed to the hospital, where he eventually was declared brain dead. he was taken off life support on October 18th 1984.
Following Hexum’s death the episode “Writer’s Block” introduced Dani’s new assistant, Jack Striker (Antony Hamilton), a CIA agent who, like Mac, would operate under the guise of a model. It was explained in the show that Mac had been killed undertaking another mission off screen.
