Austin Stowell
SAM
A National Geographic photographer who’s headed to take pictures of the caribou in Inuvik, he initially refuses to let Liv catch a flight with him and his pilot, George, then gives in when she won’t take no for an answer. But while reassuring Liv that turbulence is nothing to worry about, the plane begins to nosedive.
Stowell is best known for playing Josh in The Hating Game (based on Sally Thorne’s bestselling novel) and the film Bridge of Spies.

Danny and Liv’s co-worker, Ruth, sets the two up on a date. Ruth is concerned about Liv not taking better care of her personal life and encourages her to take time off. She tries to relate to Liv and what she’s going through, but Liv is too concerned with her work to really listen.
