911: Lone Star Preview
Although 911: Lone Star is a spinoff of the original 911 that stars Peter Krause and Angela Bassett and also comes from the minds of Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, it has a distinctly different feel to it, owing largely to the fact that it changes the setting from Los Angeles to Austin. Minear recently told the Television Critics Association winter press tour that that was why they chose Austin, as opposed to a different big city.
“You have sort of the hipster culture. You have sort of Blue America in the middle of Red America. You have Red America around Blue America. It sort of has it all, and we just thought we would do a barbecued flavor version of the show,” said Minear.
But even though the show has a different look and feel to it, they are still working hard to make sure they are representing first responders in the most accurate way possible, starting with medical and fire training for their actors.
“They offered me the part, and I think we started filming two weeks later. So I had to do a lot of training very quickly and look like I know what I’m doing,” says star Tyler, who is playing paramedic captain Michelle Blake.
She continues, “The great thing about the show is a lot of the extras and people in the scenes with us are actual firefighters and paramedics, so that’s been amazing for me, because in all those moments in between on set, I can ask a million questions and observe. We’ve all done a lot of different extensive training and observing, and we’ve had such a great support system from all of these amazing professionals, so it’s been really helpful for us, and we’re just trying to learn as much as we can and honor them, and yeah. We’re learning as we go.”
Lowe also did a lot of training, but he says what really colored his experience was interacting with the Santa Barbara fire department during the recent fires and flash flooding in that area.
“My neighborhood has suffered horrendous wildfires and flash flooding and loss of life in the last two years, so I’ve had real, truly up-close and personal interactions with first responders. I had them staged at my house. I was feeding them food,” says Lowe.
“For me, what I found interesting and what was important, was anyone can tell you how to swing the ax or use the Jaws of Life, and we have people on the show that do that, but I was really interested in why these men and women do what they do, what does it mean to them, how do they go and sleep in the dirt for weeks on end, if it comes to that, pull the kind of hours, and I just was hoping to, as Liv said, honor that spirit,” Lowe adds. “And, for me, it was just fortuitous that I had that in my own life leading up to this. It was a sort of good coincidence for prepping the character.”
911: Lone Star premieres Sunday, January 19 at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on FOX, airing live to all time zones. Then it moves to its regular time slot, Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
