This week Tommy is joined by actor Oliver Stark, best known for his starring role in the smash hit drama series 9-1-1 on ABC. 9-1-1 is one of the most watched shows on primetime television, chronicling the high-pressure experiences of first responders who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping situations. What makes this show even more special is that we get to also see these characters lives unfold once they hang up the firefighter gear for the day. Oliver plays the confident and compassionate firefighter, Evan Buckley (aka Buck) and quickly became a fan favorite on the show since day one. Today, Oliver opens up about Buck’s realization that he is bisexual, why he will always stand by storylines that are about inclusion and love, the moment he decided to make an Instagram post to show support for the LGBTQ+ community, what he hopes we will see with Buck’s journey in the future, what he has most learned about himself through doing this show, the thing that this Buck would tell Buck from Season 1, the relationship between Eddie and Buck that had many people talking about, and how he wishes he focused more on building friendships throughout the last decade of his life. This episode originally aired April 30, 2024.
