Where is Chief Kyle?

I'm aware it could just be an actor-is-unavailable thing, but anyone know what happened?

Curious to see how his character could have been developed, particularly after the whole "Not Chief Kyle, he's so mean!" comment from season one as well as the impact of the crewman sacrificing himself to save Kyle's life.

According to this article the actor left SNW and his character will be replaced by another transporter chief (scroll down to the end).

Ah, thanks! I had indeed noticed the new transporter chief this season, wasn't sure if Kyle was going to make a surprise come back or not.

Thanks for the article. I didn't know the character Kyle existed in TOS too. I wonder why the actor left SNW though -- his character could have developed more in the future.

EDIT: from another comment, it seems there was a scheduling conflict with him filming Vampire Academy. Maybe he can return in the future?
