Chaotic transcipt of the Q&A parts of the live:
Q: Are there more Buck and Chris scenes A: Yeah, I think we have a scene in the first episode of the second half. So that's 5x11. Um, we definitely have a scene in episode 14? 13. I think it airs as 14. Uh, whatever- the episode is called Dumb Luck. There's a cool scene in there.
Q: What's your favorite scene you've filmed so far? A: You know one of my favorites of the upcoming things I think in episode 11 is a very very big rescue. That, uh, yeah I was looking forward to shooting that for a long time.
Q: he didn't read it but something about eddie/ryan leaving A: Uh, yeah. Ryan is still in the show. Um, you know he said he was going to leave the 118, but he's certainly not leaving the show. Uh, not at all.
Q: Are you (the audience) going to get your hearts broken? A: Uh, I don't know. It depends on what your heart desires. I suppose some people will and some people won't. But there's lots of cool story coming up that I think people will really like some of it. All of it.
Q: Which is your favorite one? The first half or the second half? A: Uh, I really like some of the stuff we're doing in the second half of the season. It feels really fun, but still hard hitting, so yeah, I'm very excited for that.
Q: How many more episodes? A: There will be 8 more episodes, so 18 for the whole season.
Q: Are Maddie and Chimney coming back? A: Uh, yeah! Maddie and Chimney are going back. Um, I think that's not a spoiler, because I think that's mostly common knowledge. Um, yeah within the first few episodes of the season they will be returning.
Q: Is this the final season? A: Uh, I don't know. You know we haven't been picked up yet, but I hope that does happen. You can continue to watch and it will certainly help our chances.
Q: Any Buck and Jee-Yun scenes? A: Yes! What episode is that- One of the first few episodes. It's my first one- well its the first one that- well actually I don't know if its going to make it to air. I assume it will, but we had one scene before, but uh yeah, the scene cut short before she came in.
Q: Uncle Buck scene? A: Yes, there is an Uncle Buck scene coming up. It was very fun getting to play with her. The various babies that they get to play Jee, they're all very very sweet.
Q: question about the crossover that he didn't read again lmao A: Yeah! I'd love to do another crossover. I don't know, we only have a few episodes left this season, and its difficult with covid regulations and everything. I know there's a struggle to cooridinate that, but I do think that there's some mini crossover action expected.
Q: Were you nervous to work with a baby? A: I was not. No.
Q: Will Abby come back? A: No, I do not believe Abby will ever be coming back.
Q: Would you ever explore the idea of Buck having ADHD? A: Yeah, back in the day when I was on Twitter, an account, you know, broke it down for me. The account I believe was somebody that had ADHD and how they felt represented in some of the choices and the impulses and decisions that Buck made and I felt that was really really cool. So, I think that would be a really lovely thing to get to explore with in the show. I don't know whether or not that would happen, but either way I think it's really lovely that people can see that being represented in some way. I know for that particular person back when we spoke about it, it was- these were traits that they didn't always see as a positive thing in their own life, but I think through the character were able to you know see it as, uh, attributes that really helped Buck be the hero that he is and hopefully you know see those in a much more positive light and I think that's a really lovely thing.
Q: What have you learned from playing Buck? A: You know I think he makes me a little bit braver. Like I do things for the show as Buck that as Oliver I would be very scared to do. There's a huge stunt coming up in episode, I think 14. I was- I think I was 235ft, maybe I'm making that up, but 235ft up in the air on a line, its a rope rescue, and I did it- I was on the 13th floor of this highrise building. Like me personally, I would be very scared to go up there, but there's something about doing it as Buck that I'm much more able to throw myself into it and do things that yeah, in real life-
(he cuts off and chuckles and says "I don't know if I identify as a menace" and I'm wheezing btw)
Q: something about fun Buck coming back A: Uh, yeah! I do believe that fun Buck is coming back. You will see more of fun Buck in the upcoming season. (he says in a sing-song tone btw).
Q: Favorite cast member to work with? A: I don't really like any of them. (brief pause). That's a joke. As I'm sure you know.
Exit speech: But yeah no listen, the season is coming back March 21st. I think there's some really cool episodes. I think some people will be really happy with some of the stuff we dive into. I think certain characters in particular are really going to get a chance to dive in and explore some of the trauma we've seen them experience over the past few seasons, which I think is a really lovely thing and a really necessary thing. So yeah, I think people will feel well served and I'm excited to have all of your eyes on it.
