Aww! Say it ain’t so! Actor David Marciano will no longer be a series regular when Homeland‘s Season 3 returns to Showtime.
Marciano has been playing Virgil, Carrie’s “go to” surveillance guy, since the show’s pilot premiered. The former CIA employee went freelance and aside from being able to do work Carrie doesn’t necessarily want to Agency to know about, Virgil is also someone Carrie knows she can trust. Let me tell you, when it comes to National Security, those true blue folks get to be very few, and with Carrie’s mental health being a question, the list shrinks even more.
The character of Virgil was a recurring one during season 1, but was bumped up to a series regular for the last season, which was season 2. I like Virgil. He’s brutally honest when Carrie needs it and he really knows what he’s doing.

Marciano is the second Homeland cast member who won’t continue as regulars on Season 3, alongside Diego Klattenhoff.
