Max Thieriot Breaks Down Every 'Bates Motel' Nod in ‘Fire Country’ Crossover


Max Thieriot exclusively told Us Weekly about reuniting with a 'Bates Motel' alum on 'Fire Country' — and former costar Freddie Highmore's directing debut on his show

During the Friday, April 4, episode, Thieriot’s character Bode found himself helping Sharon’s ( Diane Farr) stepfather, Wes ( W. Earl Brown), at his off-the-grid marijuana property. The A&E series, which ran from 2013 to 2017, worked as a prequel to Alfred Hitchcock ‘s 1960 film Psycho, which introduced Norman Bates (Highmore) as a teenager making a move with his mother, Norma ( Vera Farmiga), but his deteriorating mental health causes complications. Bates Motel expanded on the world of Psycho by introducing new characters such as Norman’s half-brother, Dylan, his best friend Emma ( Olivia Cooke) and a love interest for Norma a.k.a Sheriff Alex Romero ( Néstor Carbonell).
