Per Deadline:
EXCLUSIVE: CBS‘ Fire Country is adding Zach Tinker (Big Sky, Days of Our Lives) to its Season 1 cast.
Tinker will make his series debut this weekend with a special episode that airs immediately following the AFC Championship game on Sunday, Jan. 29. He plays Collin, a humble, charming, and talented probie firefighter. As the son of a famous firefighting hero, Collin carries a name that he’s constantly trying to live up to.
In Fire Country, seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence, young convict Bode Donovan (Max Thieriot) joins a firefighting program that returns him to his small Northern California hometown, where he and other inmates work alongside elite firefighters to extinguish massive blazes across the region.
Kevin Alejandro, Billy Burke, Diane Farr, Jordan Calloway, Stephanie Arcila, and Jules Latimer also star.
Series creators Thieriot, Tony Phelan, and Joan Rater executive produce alongside Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, and KristieAnne Reed for Jerry Bruckheimer Television. CBS Studios is the studio.
Tinker was most recently seen in this season of ABC’s Big Sky and has also appeared in CBS’ CSI Vegas and FX’s American Horror Story: 1984.
He is popularly known for his recently concluded portrayal of Sonny Kiriakis in NBC’s long-running soap Days of Our Lives and its Peacock spinoff series, Beyond Salem.
Tinker is repped by Luber Roklin Entertainment and Pakula King and Associates.

Recently concluded...dang. That's too bad but I hope he finds some success!
I haven't watched Fire Country, it seemed too similar to 911 and 911: Lone Star which I already watch and I can't add anymore shows lol

I didn’t realize that Fire Country actually started already. I’m happy for Zach and his new gig. Prime time is always the big break that soap actors strive for. I’m sorry to see Zach leaving Days because I really liked his version of Sonny. But, with Chandler being unavailable full time, there just wasn’t anything for Sonny to do.

Agreed on all points. He was a great Sonny. I hope this works out for him!
He's a nepo baby though, which is funny to me - mostly everyone is in Hollywood.

There was some thing that blew up with the youths on TikTok about how so many famous people are famous because of having famous parents (hence the nepo baby thing) - nepotism. People like Dakota Johnson and Kaia Gerber...it's a whole thing if you google it!

People like Dakota Johnson and Kaia Gerber...it's a whole thing if you google it! Thank you for the education on nepo babies. I’m so out of the loop on today’s world. I guess I’m becoming very old school. I did see how Zach Tinker is part of the famous family of Grant Tinker, his Grandfather, and Mary Tyler Moore (Grant Tinker’s Wife).

I am sure it has helped a lot of these young people to have famous connections!!! But I do think Zach is talented in his own right!
