Where is Chief Kyle?

I'm aware it could just be an actor-is-unavailable thing, but anyone know what happened?

Curious to see how his character could have been developed, particularly after the whole "Not Chief Kyle, he's so mean!" comment from season one as well as the impact of the crewman sacrificing himself to save Kyle's life.

Here is the answer from the actor himself. Andre Dae Kim was busy filming Vampire Academy in Spain and could not return due to scheduling conflicts.

busy filming Vampire Academy

Reminds me of Denise Crosby leaving TNG to go star in such blockbusters as Relative Fear and Mutant Species

No doubt we'll see Kyle return in future seasons as an evil Romulan transporter chief

According to this article the actor left SNW and his character will be replaced by another transporter chief (scroll down to the end).

Ah, thanks! I had indeed noticed the new transporter chief this season, wasn't sure if Kyle was going to make a surprise come back or not.
