Note: This story contains spoilers from the “9-1-1” Season 6 finale.Filming for the Season 6 finale of “9-1-1” pushed Oliver Stark to the limit, and that’s just how he likes it.The first responder drama took a massive swing with its final episode at Fox, featuring a massive overpass collapse that put the lives of the entire crew of station 118 in danger.

A mildly injured Buck (Stark) — who saw his own life hanging in the balance after being struck by lightning earlier this season — got to help rescue his teammates, including performing an elaborate stunt where he repelled back and forth to save people stuck in an ambulance hanging off the collapsed piece of highway.“That was one long take!” Stark shared with TheWrap. “I was pretty bruised and battered and exhausted by the end of the day, but also felt very accomplished and it was a lot of fun [to shoot].”“Those kinds of physical set pieces are the things where I really find myself thriving and being excited.”Stark shared that her performed most of the episode’s elaborate stunts himself during filming, but praised the drama series’ stunt coordinators for keeping him safe and for stepping in on certain scenes — the sequence where Buck rescues Chimney (Kenneth Choi) was done by stunt performer Mike Ferragamo.Despite the nerve-wracking incident, all of the members of the 118 made it out of the incident alive.

But the action only picked up from there, as Buck also delivered his friends’ baby — whom he helped father by donating his sperm — on his living room couch.
