This season has put the former LAPD detective, now a private investigator, through a series of intense challenges, including a family’s mysterious disappearance, an assassination attempt on Honey Chandler, and a compelling face-off against the notorious villain, Preston Borders. Chris Browning, who portrays Borders, considers Bale among his favorite co-stars.
In a recent interview with Game Rant, Chris Browning discussed a notorious incident from the set of Terminator: Salvation, specifically the moment when Christian Bale vented his frustrations at the director of photography. Browning also recounted his collaboration with Bale during 3:10 to Yuma and the valuable lessons he learned from the acclaimed actor.
The Real Story Behind Christian Bale’s Outburst on the Set of Terminator: Salvation
Fans of Bosch: Legacy were thrilled to see Chris Browning reprise his role as Preston Borders in this season’s gripping storyline. Ultimately, Borders faced off against Harry Bosch, allowing Browning and Titus Welliver to share the screen one final time. Among the numerous talented actors Browning has collaborated with, he unequivocally cites Christian Bale as his all-time favorite. The two actors have shared the screen in both 3:10 to Yuma and Terminator: Salvation, where Browning was present during Bale’s infamous meltdown:
“I’ve worked with him on two occasions, and he is truly a wonderful individual. I witnessed the whole incident unfold, and while the shouting was indeed intense, it’s vital to understand the context. It’s akin to a football player receiving an unnecessary roughness penalty; it ignores the preceding provocation. In this case, Bale’s reaction was a culmination of ongoing frustrations.”Browning explains further about the pressures of filming: “He had politely asked multiple times for the distractions to cease during emotional scenes. When working long hours, this ongoing disregard can erode patience, and one can only take so much before reacting.”

The Generosity of Christian Bale on the Set of Terminator: Salvation
While instances of emotional outbursts are not uncommon on the sets of high-pressure productions, the narrative surrounding Christian Bale’s episode has been frequently misunderstood. This is reminiscent of Tom Cruise’s passionate address regarding COVID-19 safety protocols on the set of Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning, where the broader context of repeated shutdowns and financial losses contributed to the intensity.
In contrast to the media’s portrayal, Browning sheds light on Bale’s overall demeanor. “He is considerate and respectful, always treating everyone fairly. He genuinely cares about his fellow actors, ensuring that they are fully informed and delivering their best performances,” Browning remarked. His admiration for Bale extends to the actor’s inclination to share wisdom obtained from more experienced colleagues in the industry.
“During our time on Batman, Bale often credited Michael Caine for his development as an actor. Michael’s advice focused on simplicity and focus, encouraging Bale to harness subtlety in his performances. He emphasized that if an actor is truly immersed in a role, it will reflect in their eyes, thus leading to a more captivating performance,”Browning elaborated.
