Maria Bello

Mario Bello has exited the Fox drama Touch after just one season, TVLine reports.

Bello, 45, who joined the Kiefer Sutherland series at the end of Season 1, left as the result of a mutual decision between Bello and the show's producers. Bello will appear as a series regular in the show's upcoming second season, which just wrapped shooting and will premiere next month.
