Swat Star Joins Spinoff After Initial Snub

David Lim, who portrayed Officer Victor Tan for eight seasons on "S.W.A.T.," is set to appear in the new spinoff series, "S.W.A.T. EXILES." This marks a change after Lim initially expressed feeling overlooked by the spinoff's announcement shortly after the original series concluded. He will reprise his role in the penultimate episode of "S.W.A.T. EXILES" Season 1.

Lim was candid about his feelings, noting that the rollout of the spinoff announcement, occurring just two days after the "S.W.A.T." finale, felt dismissive to the cast who had been with the show since its inception. He emphasized that a moment of reflection for the show's builders was missed.

Joining Lim in the "EXILES" universe are fellow "S.W.A.T." alumni Jay Harrington and Patrick St. Esprit. Harrington, who played Sgt. David "Deacon" Kay, also shared feelings of being blindsided by the spinoff's reveal. St. Esprit portrayed Commander Robert "Bob" Hicks.
