He's a great actor just not one I followed closely. And I was really hoping there would be a female captain this time. Or at least a not white captain again, this is three times running. Also, "captain who works with his son"*, why not just buy the rights to "Lone Star" if they're going to do the same plotline? I'm curious to see the rest of the cast.
*it makes me feel extremely old that Chris ODonnell is cast as someone with a son old enough to also be a firefighter (or cop or medic, whichever he will be).
