NEW YORK, June 25 (UPI) -- Grey's Anatomy alum Eric Dane and Supernatural icon Jensen Ackles say the cop characters they play in the new action-drama, Countdown, may not always get along, but they work well together under pressure.
Premiering Wednesday on Prime Video, the show follows a multi-department task force charged with investigating why a Department of Homeland Security agent was murdered in broad daylight.
Dane's Nathan Blythe is the FBI senior special agent in charge, while Ackles plays Mark Meachum, a brash LAPD detective. Jessica Camacho, Elliot Knight, Violett Beane and Uli Latukefu round out the rest of the team.
"They butt heads a lot, but, at the end of the day, I get what I need from Mark Meachum and Mark Meachum gets what he needs in Nathan Blythe," Dane told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "He sees a resilience and a tenacity [in Meachum] that is super-useful when you have a task force like this."
Ackles agreed there's mutual respect between Meachum and Blythe.
