The first season of "The Sentinel" was released in April of 2006, marking the tenth anniversary of the premiere of the show.

Garett's first role was a small appearance in the Robin Williams film “The World According to Garp” at the age of nine. Given the opportunity to play a guest starring role on the groundbreaking Showtime series “Brothers” that starred the elder Maggart, Garett decided he wanted to become an actor. His younger sisters, multi-platinum selling singer Fiona Apple and Cabaret star Maude Maggart are also enjoying show business careers.
