Fox News
Actor Brian J. White explained how training for on-screen roles helped him to detain an illegal immigrant on his neighbor's property who was allegedly threatening to use a blowtorch in LA fire zone.
White, who lives in Woodland Hills, was preparing to evacuate his neighborhood due to the nearby Kenneth Fire (now 100% contained), when he realized something was awry outside.

"We were packing up, and all of a sudden, out front of our house, I hear screaming, ‘Put it down, put it down,'" White told Deadline. "I thought somebody had a gun and my neighbor was in duress, so my daughter went and hid in the closet, and I went running upstairs to go outside and help my neighbor."
