PanARMENIAN.Net - Justin Hires has been added to the cast of "MacGyver" reboot. The "Rush Hour" alum is tapped to tackle a series regular role as MacGyver's ambitious roommate Wilt Bozer, originally played by Robin Mossley on the 1980s-90s TV series, AceShowbiz said.

Justin is set to star opposite Lucas Till and George Eads on the CBS reboot. The series was forced to seriously retool its cast after the pilot was shot, with Lucas and George being the only original cast members to remain.

The reboot will follow a 20-something MacGyver (Till) as he gets recruited into a clandestine organization where he uses his knack for solving problems in unconventional ways to help prevent disasters from happening.

Peter Lenkov, Henry Winkler, Lee Zlotoff, James Wan and Michael Clear are executive producing the new "MacGyver". David Von Ancken, who is directing the project, also serves as an executive producer.

"MacGyver" is set to air Fridays at 8 P.M. this fall.
