Max Thieriot ’s Bode Leone is no longer the only fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants firefighter in Edgewater now that Jared Padalecki ’s Camden Casey has rolled into town. Warning: Spoilers below from Fire Country season 3, episode 5. During the Friday, November 15, episode of Fire Country , viewers got a taste of who Camden (Padalecki) is when he showed up at Smokies wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey, shorts and flip flops.
“That was intentional,” Thieriot, who plays Bode in addition to being the show’s cocreator, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, November 13, of Camden’s Southern California wardrobe. “[We] see the contrast between the stereotypical SoCal firefighter versus the NorCal firefighter.” The actor — who said Camden was written for his longtime friend Padalecki — noted that although they all have the same job — fighting fires — Camden is not like the rest of the Edgewater crew Bode grew up with.
Thieriot, 36, called Camden “a square peg in a round hole,” who makes it obvious from day one that there is an unspoken rivalry between the north and the south — a rivalry made clear by his Dodgers allegiance over his cohort’s love for Northern California’s own San Francisco Giants. “I always joke in North Cal it’s like wranglers and Ben Davis shirts and SoCal is, like, tank tops and flip flops,” Thieriot said with a laugh, noting it’s, “Giants and Dodgers. That’s the rivalry.
” Camden might be rooting for the wrong basebal.
