When constabulary duty's to be done A policeman's lot is not a happy one.
I like the yin-yang of a cop's life, where he's part fascist and part saint. That's where the good dramas are.
I am always looking for stories that have not been told too much, and one story that I think is really gripping and important is what police officers go through.
Imagine feeling like every kiss goodbye to your loved ones each day might be your last kiss. Police officers and their families feel this way every single day.
As an actor, I can still play a cop, but the bullets are fake, I don't have to get injured, and I'm not faced with the day-in-day-out of what cops have to deal with, which is tragic and dangerous.
A policeman's lot is not a happy one
In cop shows, the police don't get to rag on each other and rag on their commander and rag on the person they just pulled over. That was all 'Reno' was, and I think that's all cops do 90 percent of their day.
What I know from my friends who are cops is they keep their houses very clean, because they say you never know if you're coming back or not.
Police officers put the badge on every morning, not knowing for sure if they'll come home at night to take it off.
