FIRE COUNTRY Star Max Thieriot Directed Tonight’s 2nd-to-Last Episode of Season
Fire Country star Max Thieriot says one of the thrilling things about directing tonight’s episode Backdraft was how the cast responded to the most REAL fire the show has ever had on set in Vancouver.
Station 42 and Three Rock crews are called to put out a backfire that was started by a private firefighting company to protect a client’s high-end winery.
Max Thieriot directs his TV parents.
There’s something about your acting that changes a bit if it’s real fire. You can feel people react and respond to the heat when you’re surrounded by it — Max Thieriot told TVLine.
But directing and starring in Backdraft wore him out.
