NEW YORK, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Ugly Betty, Covert Affairs and The Lincoln Lawyer alum Christopher Gorham says he wasn't as shocked as viewers were when his Sheriff Country character Travis Fraley was shot during an attack on the local police station.
"Thankfully, they told me way ahead of time," Gorham, 51, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"[Series co-creator] Tony Phelan sat me down when we were shooting my first episode and he gave me a heads up as to what was coming. So, it was not a surprise. We were all really on pins and needles, waiting to read the next couple of episodes to see how it all plays out."
The contemporary, northern California-set drama returns to CBS and Paramount+ Friday after the mid-season cliff-hanger aired in December.
The Fire Country spin-off follows Travis and his ex-wife, Sheriff Mickey Fox (Morena Baccarin), who seemed to be rekindling their romance before a bullet left Travis critically wounded in Season 1, Episode 9.
