Wow, the actor playing young John Garrett is Bill Paxton's son!


I didn't realize that the actor, James Paxton, playing the younger version of John Garrett is the late Bill Paxton's son. That's pretty awesome, Bill Paxton played the older version of John Garrett in Agents Season 1!

That was indeed an inspired piece of writing and casting.

Wow - I just watched the episode where the younger John Garrett appears in the last Season of A.O.S and the resemblance is uncanny.

What an incredibly cool thing to do and as NorrinRad suggests, it is truly an inspired piece of casting.

P.S - this final season is AMAZING!
I will really miss this show.

I miss it, too! Here's an article from a couple of days ago suggesting that we may get more on Disney+!

Omg - this news has made my day!
Thank you so much for posting MisterE and fingers crossed it happens.

Agents of Shield just got better and better as the seasons progressed and I noticed that once they stopped trying to align/time it with what was happening in the larger Marvel universe, it really blossomed as a show.

I’m still buzzing with how good the final season is and only have 3 eps to go before it’s all done so the hope that some more episodes could eventuate will sustain me for a little while.
