'I Will Find You' Stars Confess: Two Dramatically Different Scenes Filmed!

The new Netflix series "I Will Find You" features Chi McBride and Logan Browning as a compelling father-daughter police duo. The show centers on their hunt for David Burroughs, a man who escapes prison to uncover the truth about his son's alleged murder, all while navigating the complexities of their own strained relationship. Their on-screen chemistry, noted as a highlight of the series, was developed through genuine off-screen interactions rather than predefined backstories.

Logan Browning shared that her character, Sarah, pursued a career in the FBI to understand the job that frequently took her father away during her childhood, believing it must be incredibly important to command such devotion. However, Chi McBride humorously revealed that their authentic bond stemmed from their real-life dynamic, starting with a playful exchange on their first day of work where Browning initially refused to call him "dad" but later began caring for him by bringing hot tea and inquiring about his health. McBride emphasized that this natural rapport fostered mutual respect and affection, making their performances feel genuine, especially in emotionally charged scenes like the hospital sequence.

McBride also reflected on a valuable acting lesson learned from Stanley Tucci on the set of Steven Spielberg’s "The Terminal." Tucci advised that to play a convincing bad guy, one should not perceive their character as inherently evil. McBride applied this philosophy to his work, underscoring that not overthinking and allowing what comes naturally leads to satisfying performances.

Discussing the series' action elements, the actors revealed that a significant shootout scene at the airstrip, featured at the end of Episode 5, was filmed two dramatically different ways. Browning noted the challenges of shooting in the intense Toronto summer heat and how the dual versions of the scene offered a fascinating insight into the evolution of a project from script to screen. McBride, with his characteristic humor, jokingly claimed that Netflix achieves realism by using "real bullets" and "live ammunition," a notion Browning quickly refuted. Both actors expressed satisfaction with the final cut of the scene, highlighting how the re-shoot captured a more spontaneous and impactful escape sequence.

"I Will Find You" is currently available for streaming on Netflix, offering viewers a rich narrative of family dynamics intertwined with a thrilling police procedural.
