“S.W.A.T.” Star David Lim Reflects Series Finale, AAPI Representation, and His Unconventional Career Path

After eight seasons and 163 episodes, CBS’s S.W.A.T. aired its emotional series finale, seemingly closing the chapter on a beloved series known for its diverse cast, compelling action, and cultural impact. But just two days later, CBS announced a new spinoff, S.W.A.T Exiles, centered on original star Shemar Moore’s character Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson training a new group of rookies, though without the return of any other original cast members. The news was met with disappointment from fans and the actors alike, including David Lim, who played Officer Victor Tan since season one.
