Kevin Alejandro, whose character, Det. Nate Moretta, was killed off on the last episode, explained why he’s leaving the show.

“I’m a regular on True Blood so you’ll see me there. I wish I could have done both shows. If it had worked out that way, I would have been the happiest man in the world, but it works out the way it’s supposed to work out. Southland‘s been an amazing experience, and [this storyline] just fit into the way things were going,” he told E! Online.

As for what fans can expect in the next few episodes, “You get to mourn with Shawn and my family and you’ll see what the death causes within them and it effects other part of the department as well, with [Ben] and [Michael].”

“It sort of mildly effects everybody in the department,” Kevin added, “because it’s like a fraternity. All the brothers and sisters are effected on one level or another.”

Ben McKenzie films scenes for the new season of Southland with co-star Regina King on Wednesday (January 5) in Los Angeles, Calif.

The 32-year-old actor sat down with the WSJ to talk about the differences of filming The O.C. and Southland.

“The O.C. was all studio, more or less. In the studio, you have the problem of boredom. It becomes repetitive,” Ben said. “Out on location, you don’t have the boredom problem but you have concentration problem. I personally prefer this way of shooting to the studio way of shooting because it makes each day new and challenging and fun.”
