Captain Wagner, a character on the ABC series High Potential, was shot and left critically wounded during the season 2 finale. This occurred as actor Steve Howey, 48, confirmed his departure from the show as a series regular. Howey's exit is reportedly due to his casting in upcoming projects, 'Off Campus' and 'Ransom Canyon'.
While Howey's time as a series regular has concluded, there's a possibility for his return as a guest star in season 3. This would allow for a proper conclusion to Captain Wagner's character arc.
