Steve Zahn & Rick Gomez: From On-Screen Rivals to Macaroni Art Prods Pals

Approximately twenty years after their initial encounter, Zahn and Gomez reunited on the series “The Crossing” where Zahn portrayed a sheriff opposite Gomez’s deputy. This science fiction show was brief-lived, only running for a single season on ABC in 2018, but it fostered one of the strongest bonds in both their lives. As Zahn chuckles, he reflects, “We had similar approaches to our work. We were constantly rewriting scripts and pushing for a more exciting product.” Gomez concurs, stating, “We shared a kind of mental connection and have remarkably similar tastes. And when our viewpoints diverged, it was harmonious.
