Good morning lovelies, boy do I have something special for you! I had the opportunity to land a fun interview with hottie, I mean Actor Taylor Kinney from the hit tv show on NBC called, Chicago Fire! Let me just tell yah, hell yes I was “fan girlin” out too! I tried my best to keep my composure, it was hard to do but I got through it.
Kinney plays Lieutenant Kelly Severide on the show and everyone I know LOVES him and his character. He was so cool to chat with about Season 7 and how he did a lot of his own stunts. Come on in and read all about it and don’t forget that “Chicago Fire” premieres Wednesday, September 26th at 9/8c.
Actors Miranda Rae Mayo, Taylor Kinney
Tell us about the new season?
I really am excited, we get some big crossovers in but we haven’t done it to this extent. I think it’s Episode 2 on October 6th when it comes out but there is this huge structure fire that takes place at a high rise apartment.
We have a good time doing the show. I remember Season 1, we were just trying to get going with Fire. Now, it’s this big conglomerate. It’s a big family now.
You did your own stunts I heard?
That was amazing, it was like 20 stories up. With the help of our special effects department stunt coordinator and special rigging. I like doing that kinda stuff, I was like a kid in a candy story.
Why didn’t you have a stunt double?
I like doing it but I will do as much as NBC let’s me. Until “Captain Insurance” won’t let me lol. One editor thought the stunt was green screened or on stage but no I was really out there and it was a great shot of the city. It has a great movie feel to it.
Are you afraid of heights?
No I am not. I used to work in roofing before becoming an actor, so it didn’t bother me. I always enjoy it.
