The Two Bones Deaths That Hit David Boreanaz The Hardest
By SANDY SCHAEFER
It can be for those watching at home to say farewell to fictional characters they've grown to love and care about, but it can be much harder for those making the series.
David Boreanaz, who played FBI agent Seeley Booth on "Bones," recalled when the show killed off his character's father-in-law Max Keenan, played by Ryan O'Neal.
Admittedly, by the time Max died, "Bones" was in the middle of wrapping up anyway. Nevertheless, it was one of two character deaths that weighed heavy on Boreanaz's mind.
"It's tough with Ryan because I loved being around — I mean, Ryan O'Neal, I mean it's just, that's classic and that's an icon to me," Boreanaz told BUILD Series.
"What he's done, the work is so amazing. So it was tough to see his character go because I always enjoyed doing scenes with him," the actor added.
Noting that sometimes killing characters is necessary to tell a good story, Boreanaz cited the death of John Francis Daley's fan-favorite psychologist, Lance Sweets.
Boreanaz said, "He was such a great character, great person to be around on set. But these things happen because the story evolves in that direction."
