Action Heroes: How Actor Brian J. White & His Neighbors Tackled Suspected Arsonist During Kenneth Fire
Actor Brian J. White on how he & several of his neighbors apprehended an arson suspect with a blowtorch, making a citizen arrest during Kenneth Fire.
White became an ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances Thursday when he, along with several of his neighbors, apprehended an arson suspect with a blowtorch in Woodland Hills, making a citizen arrest until the police got there. He shared the harrowing experience with Deadline, spoke how the police work and fight training for roles helped him in the ordeal and what the reaction has been from his colleagues, including the cast of Criminal Minds: Evolution where he is recurring, to seeing him in a viral cell video of the incident shot by White’s wife, Paula Da Silva, and their next-door neighbor. Standing on the lawn of the house next door was a neighbor from down the block telling a man holding a blowtorch to put it down after seeing him trying to ignite Whites’ trash on fire which had leaves, sticks and other flammable items in it.
