There are a lot of cliches about actors's performances. The one that comes most to mind is "tour de force" - something PR people love to use. That being said, Oliver Stark's performance in "In Another Life" was just that - an epic achievement in acting that further cemented not just Buck's central role in 9-1-1 but Oliver Stark's ability to bring laughter through tears (and vice versa) and to create a genuine, powerful emotional responses. Buck is an iconic television character - well conceived and consistently well written for - and Oliver Stark breathes such life into his character, whether going for the aforementioned laughter or tears, that he is absolutely 100% compelling. "In Another Life" gave Oliver Stark (and Buck, for that matter) an opportunity to show how vital he is to the success of 9-1-1 and the family that is the 118. I can give no higher recommendation to this amazing hour of television and to the actor who continues to bring sheer joy to fans of 9-1-1.
