Jared Padalecki Is Precisely What ‘Fireplace Nation’ Wanted

If you happen to thought Fire Country did not have already got sufficient drama, Jared Padalecki‘s newest look as newcomer Camden Casey on the firefighting sequence will excite you much more. Following the cancelation of Padalecki’s newest sequence, The CW’s Walker, it is good to see this TV star on a brand new sequence, and enjoying a really totally different character than earlier than. From his first look in “Edgewater’s About to Get Real Cozy,” we knew that Camden Casey could be one thing particular, and we will not wait to see what’s subsequent for him.

Jared Padalecki Is a Excellent Match for ‘Fireplace Nation’

As Camden Casey, Bode Leone’s (Max Thieriot) new boss, Padalecki exhibits off his spectacular vary as an actor. Who would’ve thought that from Gilmore Girls to Supernatural and Walker, and now on Fireplace Nation, Padalecki could be routinely forged as characters who could not be extra totally different? This time round, Padalecki performs a maverick, however an especially likable one who has a legit cause for the chip on his shoulder. It seems that Casey’s whole unit died on a name as a result of he did not observe his intestine, as an alternative permitting himself to get slowed down by process and crimson tape. Haunted by being the one survivor, he trains cadets to be taught from his errors and to run into the fireplace with the complete intention of saving lives and never simply avoiding authorized controversy.

In line with an official CBS featurette on Padalecki’s function on the present, he and sequence star and co-creator Max Thieriot have really been mates for a very long time off-camera. “We talked about it since day one,” Padalecki reveals about his discovering a spot on Fireplace Nation. “He brings such a constructive vitality to the set and the folks round him,” Thieriot provides. Frankly, we are able to inform. Gabriela Perez actress Stephanie Arcila famous that Padalecki solely spent about 10 minutes prepping for his introductory combat sequence at Smokey’s, the place he saves Bode’s honor from a few of Diego’s (Rafael de la Fuente) previous mates and immediately proves to be Season 3’s breakout character. Nobody else on Fireplace Nation is kind of like Camden Casey, and his SoCal demeanor provides some taste to a present the place we have come to know the forged all too effectively. Greater than that, it is simply enjoyable to observe Jared Padalecki play such a unique character.

Camden Casey Could Not Be Nice for Bode, however He is a High-quality Addition to ‘Fireplace Nation’

Even when possibly Casey being his Part Three supervisor is not the best thing for Bode right now, we will not assist however love each minute he is on-screen. Bode has fought arduous this season to respect Cal Fireplace process and the rules that preserve his family and friends (and himself) protected. Whereas he nonetheless has an advanced relationship with the foundations, he is come to this point beneath Jake’s (Jordan Calloway) steering. It is true that Bode himself wants extra routine and path, and that Casey is the alternative. Regardless of that, Padalecki is the wild card that this firefighting drama wants. Keen to save lots of Bode’s disguise each on and off name, Casey is a enjoyable addition who breathes new life into the present, and he may be the one to face in opposition to the foundations at a time when Bode cannot.

The best way that Casey pushes Bode, even simply in his first look, to change into essentially the most elite firefighter he may be is one thing that our hero’s family and friends might by no means do. Everybody from his mother and father to his greatest mates care far an excessive amount of about Bode being protected and out of jail, that they refuse to let him take any dangers out within the discipline. However Casey would not see Bode Leone the son or the pal, he only sees his potential as a firefighter. Simply once we thought that possibly Fireplace Nation was getting too cozy with its most important forged, conserving everybody related by familial bonds or friendship, Casey arrives with a brand new dynamic totally. Excellent for this type of function, Padalecki has performed these types of first responders earlier than, although by no means fairly like this. With his time as Texas Ranger Cordell Walker now at an end, Camden Casey appears like the proper continuation of a few of these concepts with out the luggage of Walker, crafting a brand-new character for Padalecki to devour on the display.
