I remember going through older footage to build the documentary footage and he was in all the old pictures of the company, so he exists in the lore of the show, in the same way that Peter Gregory [Christopher Evan Welch, who passed away after Season 1)] does.
That was kind of the design, to get people going, ‘Wait a minute, are we going to see him?’
… [H]e was a major character for the first four seasons, so he’s still very much in the world of the show.
But I like that people think he was going to pop up.
