The actor praised their co-stars, calling Ariana and Cynthia "the perfect yin and yang," adding, “They are so talented and hardworking. It was such an honor to be part of this loving family."

More than 2,000 rescues — and the year isn’t over yet. Santa Clemente lifeguards are keeping a close eye on the Pacific as they prepare for potentially stronger surf and bigger waves this winter. From Tower Zero, lifeguards monitor the entire beach and use cameras to spot trouble in the water. One of their biggest concerns? Rip currents, which can pull swimmers far from shore.
