Thanks for this news.  I wouldn't have remembered him without the photos.  Was he the one in that scene set in the Phoenix morgue?  The set they built for that one scene was incredible.

Gothick, by that point, Connell had already been replaced by Vince O'Brien.  John Harkins played the other cop in the morgue scene.

Was he in one or two episodes before he was replaced?
