'Magnum PI' Season 4 Full Cast List: Meet Jay Hernandez and others from hit CBS show
Thomas Magnum is back. CBS made the bold decision to reboot a cult classic, 'Magnum PI' that saw Tom Selleck play the iconic character in the hit 80's crime procedural. It was pretty much high-octane action even at that time, and the network decided to bring the famed private investigator back — this time with Jay Hernandez as Magnum, a former NAVY seal who's gone PI and solves crimes in Hawaii.
The latest season sees new characters coming in. Deadline reported that the series roped on Martin Martinez as part of the cast in a recurring role. The actor plays Cade Jensen and the site describes him as "a determined but troubled teenager who attempts to charm his way into a job at La Mariana, and over the course of several episodes, ultimately finds a surrogate parent in TC (Stephen Hill)". Chantal Thuy is one of the latest additions as well. With this piece of news, we take a look at the cast for season 4 of the CBS crime drama.
