The actor-director shares why he wanted to make the wildfire survival thriller, how being a father has impacted his career, and the importance of correcting misconceptions about SAG-AFTRA interim deals.

My agents were not happy that I kept saying no. But I thought, look, the best case scenario when you’re an actor is that the show goes seven or eight years.
