Morena Baccarin as Sheriff Mickey Fox – JOINING!
Sheriff Mickey Fox was first introduced on Fire Country in the April episode, “Alert the Sheriff.”
Mickey is not only the step-sister of Sharon (Diane Farr), but she also had a hand in putting Sharon’s son Bode (Max Thieriot) behind bars before he joined the Cal Fire firefighting program.
“Our backstory is that Mickey’s dad was an original resident [in Edgewater] and he got busted for growing weed,” says Joan Rater, who wrote the episode with Tony Phelan that was directed by Max Thieriot, via Deadline. “And if you’re a kid who has that kind of chaos happen early in your life, it would make sense to us that you would want to avoid chaos at all costs. You would want to believe in order and rules and law and order. And so she’s a person who likes order, but she knows everybody in town. It gives her a unique perspective.”
“Because of her unique background, she’s somebody who firmly believes in the law as a force against chaos, and she deeply cares about this community,” added Tony. “She’s grown up here in a very real sense, the community saved her when her parents ran into trouble early on. So I think a lot of her journey is in discovering her own power and her own ability to take care of these people.”
