“Man these LA [fires] aren’t no joke,” James tweeted. “Had to emergency evacuate my house and I’ve been driving around with my family trying to get rooms. No luck so far!” He followed up later saying that he’d found a place to stay.
The fire started around 1:30 a.m. local time in the Sepulveda Pass. Strong winds caused the fire to spread across the hillsides. Firefighters are attempting to contain the blaze. Strong winds throughout Monday and Tuesday in the Los Angeles area may make that difficult.
Gregg plays SHIELD agent Phil Coulson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After his death in Marvel’s The Avengers, Nick Fury resurrected Coulson. Coulson succeded Fury as director of SHIELD in Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD on ABC. The show is heading into its seventh and final season, having wrapped production in July.
Coulson died again at the end of the show’s fifth season. Gregg played a new character, Sarge, throughout season six. In season seven, it appears he’ll be playing a Life Model Decoy of Coulson.
Season six closed out with the Agents of SHIELD team traveling backward through time. Gregg’s co-star Chloe Bennet promised the final season will please fans. “I can say we are back in time, so we have to getโฆ the whole goal is to get back to where we were,” Bennet explained. “So that means traveling through a bunch of different time periods and who knows who we see on the way back, if we even get back. It’s actually one of the mostโฆ season 4 and season 7 are definitely my favorite seasons of SHIELD. For the long-term fans, it’s a really big pay-up and it’s really, really fun. When you’ve done six seasons and that many hours of TV, it’s pretty hard on the writers to think what else do we do, and they killed it. Season seven is a really, really fun one.”
