Interview AssignmentX - Ronen Rubinstein

Ronen Rubinstein plays Owen’s son and fellow firefighter T.K. Strand. One of the reasons for the move to Austin is Owen’s desire to get T.K. out of New York City after the young man attempted suicide following a disastrous romantic breakup. Now T.K. is trying to maintain his hold on being clean and sober while embarking on a tentative new relationship with police officer Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva) and fitting in with the local community of first responders.

ASSIGNMENT X: Is there an aspect of playing a firefighter that you found either very enjoyable or very challenging?

RONEN RUBINSTEIN: I find it all enjoyable, even when it’s challenging. I truly look at these people [real-world first responders] as the real superheroes. When there’s crisis or there’s something awful happening in the world, we’re not calling on people with capes and tights. It’s firemen, it’s cops, it’s medics. So I’ve always had a tremendous respect for them, but it’s only elevated and grown.
