Booth Vs. Sully: Did David Boreanaz and Eddie Mcclintock Clash Behind the Scenes?
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
McClintock’s time working alongside Boreanaz and Deschanel acted as an operational audition for showrunners looking for a charismatic lead who could balance comedy with procedural authority. In 2009, McClintock was cast as Secret Service Agent Pete Lattimer on Syfy’s flagship drama Warehouse 13. The show became one of the highest-rated original series in Syfy's history, running for five seasons.
The DNA of Sully’s character carried directly into Pete Lattimer: physical comedy, unpretentious dialogue delivery, and genuine vulnerability masked by self-deprecating humor. In profile interviews during the show's run, McClintock frequently reflected on the industry momentum generated by his short run on Bones. Working across from an established procedural heavyweight like Boreanaz demonstrated that McClintock could hold the center of a frame without shrinking against strong scene partners.
