Max Thieriot's transition from "SEAL Team" to "Fire Country" has been a topic of great interest, especially as he has not only starred in but also co-created and produced the successful firefighter drama. In a recent interview with James Corden on The Late Late Show, Thieriot shed light on the inspiration behind his departure from "SEAL Team" and the birth of "Fire Country," revealing that a conversation with his former co-star AJ Buckley played a pivotal role in the creation of the hit series.
