one long stretch of devastation. It all felt surreal. And then we all went back to our lives. A couple years later, after waiting about a minute for my CompuServe account to log on via my phone modem, I saw a short blurb online that O.J. Simpsons ex-wife and a male friend had been killed at her condo in Brentwood. About a week later, as I looked forward to the opening match of the 1994 World Cup, there was O.J. in his white Bronco, leading the police on that bizarre slow speed chase. His arrest and his trial dominated local news for the next couple years as we were introduced to sloppy crime scene protocol, accusations of planting evidence and a Detective, Mark Fuhrman, whose liberal use of the N word started a new debate. Was he just a cop trying to impress one of us Hollywood types? Was he merely a racist who had still managed to help catch the right guy? Or was he someone whose hatred of minorities was so strong and palpable that he had framed an innocent man of murder? Your answer mostly depended on your Zip Code. A couple years later I found myself writing for the CBS series Nash Bridges, a thoroughly old-fashioned cop show that struck just the right chord with CBSs Friday night audience, if not the critics. In our show, the cops were the heroes, the crooks were the bad guys, and with few exceptions Nash busted them at the end. After three years of writing that same formula and taking the occasional police ride along with San Francisco detectives that inevitably yielded fantastic material that was in no way appropriate for Nash Bridges, I decided to try to write my own cop show. The first two characters I came up with were Dutch and Charles (later to become Claudette after the ethereal CCH Pounder auditioned for the role). Then I came up with David, the ambitious Captain who wanted to be L.A.s first Latino mayor, something I was sure was inevitable in Los Angeles. Then came Danny and Julien. As I wondered who else to include in the piece, I opened the Los Angeles Times to find a story about a new scandal brewing that of the Crash Unit of officers working in the Rampart district of Los Angeles. As I continued following the story over the next couple weeks, two things became very clear these guys were very bad. And they were very effective. And thus was born Vic Mackey and the Strike Team. I was determined to use this merely for inspiration, not to take anything directly from the scandal. I would fictionalize everything. But there was one small detail I could not resist. Buried in the middle of one of the articles was the story of one of these officers, accused of horrible crimes while wearing a badge, who nonetheless showed great compassion and empathy for one of the hookers in his area for reasons having nothing to do with sex or money. He just had a soft spot for her, and at least where she was concerned, he exhibited the very best of himself with her. And thus was born Connie. A script, at the end of the day, is an inanimate object. It suggests life and action, but it requires others - people with money and/or talent to join forces to lift this story off the page and put it onto television.
Peter Ligouri and Kevin Reilly showed incredible courage putting THE SHIELD on the air, and even more entrusting me to run it when I had no experience to suggest I was up for the job. After Peter and Kevins success lured them both away to new jobs, John Landgraf came in and injected a converts zeal into the show. He challenged us to make the show even better, and often had ideas how to do it. We gladly stole his ideas and took all the credit for them until now. Eric Schrier and his team at FX defended the show countless times against foes both external and internal. They kept our feet to the fire and demanded excellence. John Solberg and his team crisscrossed the country to get the word out on the little show that could. When the perception was that FX was a place for reruns and not quality dramas, John convinced critics to take a good look at our show. The resulting critical support put us on the map. Marney Hochman, David Madden and everyone at Fox Television and Deb Curtis and everyone at Sony Television always made sure we had everything necessary to make the show we wanted to make. And then there was the creative team on THE SHIELD: Scott Brazil was the glue that held our merry band together for five seasons before we lost him to A.L.S. By then he had taught us how to do it ourselves, so we did. But his influence and passion lives on in every episode we do. Clark Johnson created the look and feel for the show and selected many of the crew members who would remain with us for all seven seasons. Kevin Cremin made the trains on time, but he also did so much more than that. He knew when to switch the trains to different tracks and how to keep the various trains from colliding in the night. He had the toughest job of all of us replacing Scott. And Scott would be proud of how he did it. Rohn Schmidt, Billy Gierhart, Richie Cantu and the entire camera department shot the show like they were another cop in The Barn. First Deb Aquila and Trish Wood did an amazing job casting the pilot. Then Barb Fiorentino, Rebecca Mangieri and Wendy Weidman populated every episode of the series with incredible guest stars. Our guest directors were an incredible blessing. From Guy Ferland who did the most Shield episodes of anyone, to getting to work with Frank Darabont, Craig Brewer and David Mamet for one glorious episode each, the show was made better by the dedicated people behind the helm. Our Post-Production team, initially led by Dean White, and later by Craig Yahata, made our messily (intentionally) shot and muddily recorded (often by necessity) show look and sound fantastic. We hired and lost a number of very talented editors until finally I just promoted three incredibly dedicated
Assistant Editors who all proved themselves invaluable. Hunter Via, Jordan Goldman and Angela Catanzaro became my friends and confidants during the final stage of making sure we didnt screw up an episode. Kathryn Morrison, Tony Medina, Kitty Doris-Bates and everyone in the art department, wardrobe, hair and makeup made everyone and everything look exactly as bad as we requested. We had a (seemingly) tireless crew who we asked too much of only to see them deliver more than we asked. They were the backbone of our show and they never broke. Then there were my writers. The people I spent the most time with. The men and women that stood by my side and went to battle with me on each and every script. We pushed each other, ate too many meals together, saw an occasional sunrise together and they always tried to make each others scripts as good as they could be, even when their names werent on them. I thank each and every one of them, but especially my core group of brothers and sisters in arms Glen Mazzara, Kurt Sutter, Scott Rosenbaum, Chic Eglee, Adam Fierro, Liz Craft and Sarah Fain. It starts with the words and they all gave me great ones. And finally, there were the actors. The faces of the show. As showrunners, we all think we have the most talented cast on television. But I cant think of a showrunner with a stronger case than me. Chikie, Benito, CC, Jay, Cathy, Walton, Kenny, Dave, Michael, Catherine, David, Paula, Glenn, Forrest, Anthony, Franka, Autumn and everyone else who appeared on the show. What a pleasure to have ones words spoken by any of these special talents. So, after seven seasons we say goodbye. We did the best we could.

A little more than a year after I moved to Los Angeles I sat in the living room of my friend Scott Schwemmers high-rise apartment, nestled between Dodger Stadium and Downtown, playing backgammon and listening to The Beautiful South (a band whose juxtaposition of gorgeous
musical melodies with jarring, sarcastic lyrics, dripping with uncomfortable truth, has always served as a constant inspiration to me), when something caught our eye on the muted television across the room.
A black man was lying facedown on a city street as four police officers delivered a beating unlike anything Id ever seen before.
Having grown up in Rockford, Illinois and then going to college in Middlebury, Vermont my previous personal interaction with police officers had consisted solely of getting a flashlight shone in my face and being told that my girlfriend and I couldnt park in the Churchs back lot on a Friday night, but that wed certainly be welcome there on a Sunday morning. What I saw on that television set in 1991 sickened and fascinated me, and most of all, seemed utterly foreign to me. As I looked out at downtown that night from Scotts apartment, Los Angeles seemed to shine and glisten. Its beauty was visible to anyone. But it took a man with a camcorder to show us its ugly side. In the next year there was endless debate about what these four police officers had done. What Rodney King had done before the camera was turned on. Whether this was typical cop behavior or a hideous isolated incident. In 1992, when the Simi Valley jury returned not-guilty verdicts to the four officers, I was playing beach volleyball with a group of out-of-town friends. When one of them called home to Philadelphia, she was told by her mother that there was rioting going on in Los Angeles. It sounded absurd to us and we finished 04 our volleyball game. We went up to the 3rd Street Promenade for dinner and thats when we saw the televisions. Saw the looting, the buildings on fire. But it all seemed to be in the ghetto, certainly nowhere near us and no reason not to go back to my friends apartment in Glendale. By the time we got back to Glendale, the sky was black with fire clouds. We turned on the TV again and saw the devastation. For the first time I was scared. My friends offered me and the others the opportunity to bunk there for the night, but there were no extra beds and I felt like I could make it home to Hollywood, so I set out about midnight (breaking the citys announced curfew) and hit the road. The freeways were eerily deserted. I sped all the way home through what seemed like a ghost town. Deserted, but seemingly spared from the civil unrest plaguing the bad part of town. When I woke up the next day I saw news footage that the 7-11 on Hollywood and Gower, two blocks from my apartment, had been looted. A few days later, when the situation calmed, I got into my 85 Mercury Lynx and cruised the town looking at the damage for myself. La Brea Boulevard, the route I took to the airport, was

Groundbreaking, critically acclaimed, award-winning, consistent, and historic are the most precise words to describe FXs signature original drama series THE SHIELD.
Since its debut on March 12, 2002, THE SHIELD has set a standard for excellence and redefined basic cable television. Not only did THE SHIELD establish the foundation for what
FX has become, but it also paved the way for other
ad-supported cable networks to follow its lead to strive for the highest quality scripted drama series. It
opened a world of possibility for writers, producers, actors
and directors, providing them the new chance to come
to basic cable and deliver original scripted series
of the highest caliber.
The seventh and final season begins on Tuesday, September 2 at 10 PM ET/PT with new episodes every Tuesday at 10 PM ET/PT though November 25. The burning question fans want to know is, How will it end for Detective Vic Mackey? Will he be killed? Will he go to jail? Or, will he walk away? Vic faces threats from all directions, primarily from his damaged protg Detective Shane Vendrell, whom Vic knows killed their former partner Detective Curtis Lemansky. He also is faced with losing his badge, as Captain Claudette Wyms is on the verge of pushing him off the force so she and her precinct can clean up Farmington without the stench of police corruption. Further complicating matters is the fact that Vic is unaware that he and his family have been greenlit (marked for death) by Diro Kesakhian for ripping off the Armenian money train (Season 2) and that Shane is the one who gave him up. Last season Vic and Detective Ronnie Gardocki learned that Shane killed Lem. When Vic confronted Shane about the murder of Lem, Shane threatened to blow the whistle on the Strike team for all of the past sins and send the details of their crimes to Internal Affairs, should Vic hurt Shane or his family. Farmington was systematically being taken over by one of the Mexican drug cartels to launder dirty money through Cruz Pezuelas Development Corporation, which is cycling drug profits into a grand scheme that would eventually push Farmingtons poorest inhabitants out of their community. Cruz Pezuela used City Councilman and former Farmington police captain David Aceveda to pull the political strings by supporting his run for Mayor of Los Angeles. While Aceveda knew that Pezuela is dirty, his goal was to turn the tables on Pezuela, bring down the cartel, and take credit as a hero to solidify his mayoral run. One problem: Mackey knew about the plan and uncovered a blackmail box that contained incriminating information about a number of high-ranking city and Federal officials. Mackey stole the box from a former
Mexican intelligence officer who had been installed in the employ of Pezuela Development to keep an eye on the cartels money. Mackey used Pezuela to pressure Aceveda into supporting his effort to keep his badgeat least for a whilefrom being stripped by the police review board. Included in the blackmail box stolen by Mackey are photos of Acevedas ultimate shamehis sexual assault by armed assailants several years ago. Shane, knowing that he was the only one who could prevent the Armenians from killing Vics estranged wife Corrine and their kids, kidnapped them for their own safety. Shane also knew that the hit wouldnt stop with Mackey and his family, but would also eventually extend to him. To put an end to it, Shane orchestrated an overthrow of Kesakhian by her top lieutenant Rezian. Ronnie is turning down a dark path due to his desire to exact vengeance against Shane for the murder of Lem. He remains loyal to Vic, but his distrust of recently installed former officer, now Strike Team member Julien Lowe is palpable. Detective Dutch Wagenbach has to deal with being reteamed with former interim chief, now epically slacking partner, Det. Steve Billings. Though his inflated sense of genius is constantly insulted by the requirement that he carry Billings, his deeper woes come from his desire to protect his former partner Claudette, who is losing her battle with Lupus. Officer Danny Sofer is conflicted by the risk of her chosen career, her ambition, and her responsibility as the mother of her infant son Lee. Complicating matters is the fact that Lees father is Vic who wants to be a part of Lees life against the fierce objection of Danny. Corrine, having been kidnapped with her kids by Shane, lives in sheer terror about what her life has become as a result of Vics misdeeds. She wonders how she and her kids will ever escape Vics decaying orbit. Can Vic survive? Can he save his family and his job? Will he pay for his original sin of murdering fellow Strike
Team member and government mole Terry Crowley? Will he face a showdown with former protg turned Frankenstein monster, Shane Vendrell? All will be revealed by the end of this extraordinary series. THE SHIELD was created by Shawn Ryan and is Executive Produced by Ryan, Kurt Sutter, Charles Eglee, Adam Fierro and Kevin Cremin. The series is produced by Fox Television Studios in association with Sony Pictures Television. When it ends, THE SHIELD will have 88 episodes to its credit. As with the pilot episode, the series finale was written by Shawn Ryan and was directed by Clark Johnson. THE SHIELD was the first basic cable series to win a major Emmy award Michael Chiklis for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and the first basic cable show to win the Golden Globe award for Best TV Series Drama. THE SHIELD won a Peabody Award and has been recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the Top Ten Television Shows of the Year. It was the first basic cable drama series to score broadcast and cable syndication.

In July of 2008, THE SHIELD ranked #29 on the Entertainment Weekly list of the Top 100 Shows of the past 25 years.

Vic Mackey
PRODUCER DIRECTOR Episode 5
Emmy Winner Michael Chiklis stars as Detective Vic Mackey. With the powers-that-be forcing him into retirement, Vic continues to remain steadfast not only to save his job, but to avenge Lems death.
Michael Chiklis returns in September 2008 for the seventh and final season of the groundbreaking drama series THE SHIELD.
Chiklis turned in a history-making performance as rogue detective Vic Mackey, which earned him multiple Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.

For what has been arguably the most critically acclaimed performance in television, Chiklis captured the 2002 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series; and the 2003 Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series Drama, becoming the first actor in the history of advertiser-supported cable television to capture both awards. He also won the 2002 Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Drama. TIME magazine declared Chiklis gave TVs performance of the year. In September he will be seen in the thriller Eagle Eye for Paramount. Chiklis starred in 20th Century Foxs highly successful live-action films, Fantastic Four & Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, portraying Ben Grimm aka The Thing. In season three of THE SHIELD, Chiklis added new dimensions to his repertoire by taking on the role of producer and director. The star helmed the episode titled Slipknot and also directed the episode Haunts in season 6 and Game Face in season 7 to add to his directing credits. A classically trained actor, Chiklis earned his Equity card at age 13 appearing in multiple regional and offBroadway theater productions including A Streetcar Named Desire, Romeo and Juliet, As You Like It and many more. He attended Boston University School of Performing Arts where he received his B.F.A.
Days after graduation, Chiklis auditioned for the role of John Belushi in the controversial film Wired, a role that he would eventually earn three years later. Afterwards, Chiklis guest starred in many popular series such as Miami Vice, L.A. Law, Murphy Brown and Seinfeld. In 1991 Chiklis captured the title role on The Commish, which aired on ABC from 1991-1996. Chiklis portrayed Police Commissioner Tony Scali, the lovable antithesis of Vic Mackey. The role was based on an actual New York state police commissioner and originally called for an older man, but Chiklis won the producers over and made the role his own. After The Commish wrapped, Chiklis went to Broadway and starred in the one-man show Defending the Caveman. Some of his film credits include The Tax Man with Joe Pantoliano, and Do Not Disturb opposite William Hurt and Soldier with Kurt Russell. His additional television credits include a role as Chris Woods, the stay at home father on the NBC comedy Daddio as well as a starring role as Curly in the ABC movie The Three Stooges which was executive produced by Mel Gibson.

Gierhart has his degree in Film from Grand Valley State University, and hopes this marks the beginning of a spectacular directing career.
Schmidt made good use of his extensive experience with quality casts and superior directors (Frank Darabont, Peter Bogdonavich, John Badham, David Mamet, Clive Barker, Clark Johnson and Scott Brazil) when he made his directing debut season six on THE SHIELD (The Wrath of the Math). Schmidt grew up in Kailua, Hawaii which he credits (along with excess salt water in the brain) for his ability to be relaxed in stressful situations. He received a B.A. in Film from Brooks Institute of Photography and a M.F.A. in Cinematography from The American Film Institute. He lives in Santa Barbara with his wife, son and daughter.
Johnson made his feature film directorial debut with the hit action thriller S.W.A.T., starring Samuel L. Jackson and Colin Farrell and went on to direct Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland in the feature The Sentinal. His numerous television directing credits include THE SHIELD series finale, The Wire series finale, Sleeper Cell, Boycott, Soul Food, NYPD Blue, The West Wing, Third Watch, City of Angels, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Homicide: Life on the Street. A 1995 Canadian Academy Award nominee for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Rude, Johnson has also appeared in films such as Touchstone Pictures Adventures in Babysitting, Orions Colors, Tristars Iron Eagle II, Universals Renegades, Alliances Lulu, Paramounts Nick of Time and the independent film Fear of Fiction. Nominated for a Canadain Television Award for his appearance in Canadian Televisions E.N.G., Johnson has also appeared in many other network series. Among them are NBCs Homicide: Life on the Street; L.A. Law; ABCs movies of the week Gabriels Fire and Women of Brewster Place; CBSs Night Heat and Hot Shots; and USAs Forever Knight and Silent Witness. He also starred in FXs first original movie, Deliberate Intent alongside Timothy Hutton, Ron Rifkin and Jams McDaniel.

PERSPECTIVE M I C H A E L C H I K L I S
I had hit a crossroads in my career, and was looking to reinvent myself as an actor. My wife, Michelle, had a friend who was a cop with a lot of lawsuits against him for bad behavior. He also had the most commendations for valor in the field. We started to develop a screenplay about him. About that time Michelle and I went to a Gymboree class with our three-year-old, Odessa. Thats when I met Shawn Ryan. Talk about six degrees of separation. Michelle and Shawns wife Cathy had gone to grade school together, but hadnt seen each other for 13 years. Shawn had just sold a pilot. It turned out to be the best pilot script I had ever read, and had a kismet element going for it, since its lead character was also an anti-heroic cop. I knew that it could do more for me than anything prior in my career. If the show had been at any of the four major networks at that time, they wouldnt have seen me for it. Michelle, who is the engine behind my life, had said to me some months before, Its not incumbent upon the network to reinvent you. Its incumbent upon you to reinvent yourself. I had been hitting the gym three hours a day every day, six days a week. For six months, I was eating no flour, no sugar, and no dairy. Then, just when everything was getting to critical mass, things came together the way they did. They say luck happens when preparation meets opportunity. When that opportunity presented itself, I was ripped. I was focused. I needed it. I wanted it. And when I walked into the audition, as Liguori and Reilly put it, I apparently sucked the air out of the room. Shawn Ryan was brillianta thoughtful, contemplative guy with a big heart. But he was also quite green, and I was thrilled to know that Scott Brazil was going to be by his side. Shawn was a beyond-capable writer, but he needed help in terms of making the show. I think one of the single most important reasons that THE SHIELD has a legacy is Scott Brazil. Scotts mandate was that, first and foremost, you have to be a fundamentally decent human being. And then you have to be really talented. If youre both of those things, then you get to work on THE SHIELD. You spend 14 hours a day for seven years with people, and if both of those things arent true, you cant enjoy the process. The part of Vic Mackey was an actors dream. His truth is that there are exceptionally bad people and you need Vic Mackey to deal with them. And you dont want to hear about it. If youre a citizen, you dont have much to fear from him, but if youre a bad guy. This character has permeated pop culture. WWVMD is now a euphemism for What would Vic Mackey do? One of the most defining experiences on the show was working with my daughter, Autumn. She started when she was seven, and now shes 14. Weve watched her grow from a little girl in the first year to a beautiful and incredibly talented young woman. Were running toward an endgame now, and its freed up the writers to write with a reckless abandon. After seven years, were like a mobile army unit. Were so used to one another. Every day on the set is the same as Day One. People have avoided taking other work so they could be sure of coming back here. That speaks volumes about the show. What I am not going to miss about going to work every day is being a maniacally stressed-out-aneurysm-waiting-to-happen. The toughest challenge about playing this role is that Im always in a knot. Right now, in Season Seven, I have seven balls in the air and Im starting to drop them. What I am going to miss the most are the people. They will be in my life, but not in the way they have been. And thats going to be tough. I dont like goodbyes.
I loved the way Clark Johnson directed me on a wonderful film, Boycott. After we finished I said, I dont care what youre doing next, I want to work with you. He said, Im sorry, its seven guys and a blonde, so. My agent told me, You can be one of the guys. I got the role and we changed the sex. The unique thing about the character was that she was a woman handling herself in a mans world. Claudettes most important relationship was with Dutch Wagenbach. The show was fabulously written for these two characters, in the way that they interacted with each other. And even though Dutch has a fun kind of irritating relationship with Billings, its not as sweet, deep, or visceral as the one he has with Claudette. David Mamet was a very interesting director because there was a sense of, Aah, a man of the theatre. Mamet was accustomed to more generous rehearsals, and to have watched him come up to speed on the show was fascinating. Glenn Close did the same thing. She is a fantastic actor in the theater and on film, where you have more time to prepare. For TV, you have to condense everything and cram it into seven, eight days. Watching her come up to speed was amazing. She handled it with such grace. The Mackey character is beloved by the fans. No matter know bad he gets, no matter how evil, how wicked, how manipulative, people will say, Oh, so he killed a couple of people. Fans think, Boy, I wish I could do that to my bosses, slap em around, and tell em what I thinkand then walk off and not be fired.

What I am going to miss the most are the people. They will be in my life, but not in the way they have been. And thats going to be tough. I dont like goodbyes.
Im going to miss the feeling that we were participating in Vic is the most complex character on television. This is not a bad man; this is a man who, by circumstance, has made some very bad choices. And to watch an experiment that was brand that complication and that gray area and that black area and that white area, all the shades in betweenthat he has to find his way in the maze of lifeits new, that had never been done something to behold. Someone said, Its like youre on a roller coaster ride and its the last, the big, before, that was historic in steep one, and youre just at the top, about to do the free fall. That is a perfect description. It absolutely reflects the scripts that are coming through. television, absolutely.
Some of the funniest moments were not on-camera. Jay Karnes likes game playing, chess, and backgammon. When Glenn Close joined the cast, we never thought she would take part, but she sat down and said, I hear youre playing a game. Set it up, fellas. Im going to miss the feeling that we were participating in an experiment that was brand new, that had never been done before, that was historic in television, absolutely. After seven years, we are still doing the plays the thing. THE SHIELD is like the launching pad that Hill Street Blues once was. Everybody who has ever worked here should be incredibly proud that they could go anywhere in town and say, Well, I might not have done that, but I worked on THE SHIELD. When things are coming towards an end, I get very steely, very British. What Ill miss the most is the opportunity to work with actors who have a point of view that is giving and sharing. For seven years, we did a really stellar job.

PERSPECTIVE B E n I T O M A RT I n E z
When I first heard about the show, I thought it was going to be comparable to NYPD Blue, and thats all I knew. When I auditioned, the role of Aceveda called for a guy in his forties. I had just turned thirty, and the guy who had auditioned just before me was a really handsome, young Latino guy. I thought, were not even close to the same type. The casting director, Deborah Aquila, sat down and we did one scene, and she said, Lets see another one. And we did another one. She looked at me and said, Where have you been? And I knew right then and there that something really good was happening. Next time I went in, Scott Brazil was there, and Clark Johnson, and our creator, Shawn Ryan. It was a long process. I had never done a screen test before. Deb stood by me. Shawn knew he wanted me, and Scott and Clark knew they wanted me. The network had to figure out if they were going to pay this guy who they didnt know. It was toward the end of the day, and Shawn said, You know what? I havent asked for any favors, but Im going to call them up and just as he reached for the phone, Kevin Reilly from FX called and said, All right. Youve got Benito. And thats how I got cast. Were all feeder horses; well eat up the space, and we take the focus. While shooting the pilot, I thought the show was about me. Michael Chiklis thought the show was about him and his character. And CCH Pounder thought the show was about her and her character. It certainly made for great dynamics because of the way it was written. Clark Johnson was able to get his friend Reed Diamond, a series regular with him on Homicide, to play the Terry Crowley role. The audience was thinking he was one of the series regulars, so when this familiar actor got killed at the end of the pilot, it was a double shockbrilliant casting. We were filming episode seven of the first season, and the network started feeding out the completed shows, and the critics went crazy. By the time we premiered, we knew we had something good, and we rode it all the way to the Golden Globes. Michael Chiklis even won an Emmy. One of the saddest moments for my character was the day of his rape. He goes to the restroom and has to throw up, but he canthe just dry heaves and horrible retching, like your body trying to purge itself of everything, but it cant. The number one thing I will not miss when the show is over is having my hair perfectly coiffed every day. But I love the suits. I love the shoes. I love everything else. I love Michael Chiklis. I have complete respect for this guy who had a resurrection in his career as a result of THE SHIELD, and fully appreciates this time in his life. This is the same show that started seven years ago. Its just as raw, just as wrong, just as hard-hitting. Just as meaningful. Being from the theater world, Im okay with and now it ends. I have one last thing to say, and thats directly to the crew: Thank youSee you on the next one This is the most amazing crew in the world.
This was a little basic cable cop show for FX, which nobody had ever heard of and most people couldnt find on their cable dial. No actor wanted to come in to audition for it. So, while we were doing the pilot, and then after we got picked up and were shooting the first few episodes, there was a sense of doing something really good, but in complete obscurity. I found with Dutch you quickly began to root for the guy. I liked stuff that pleased him. The brilliant thing about Dutch, and the way these writers have written him, is that hes a character actor who thinks hes a leading man. Hes a cop who doesnt understand why people dont treat him like they treat Vic Mackey. One of my favorite moments in the series is when Dutch got the serial killer in the first season. Thats an interesting relationship, Dutchs relationship with Claudette. He really needs her, and I dont think she needs him as much. For five seasons, 80plus episodes, CC and I, 5:45 every morning, have seen each other in the makeup trailer, kissed on the cheek in all that time, there has never been a cross word between us. I was very lucky to get to work with her. I remember doing the pilot, and Id heard a lot of great things about her and as we were working together, I just didnt get it. Then, I watched it and realized how much was going on without her seeming to be doing anything. It was a real lesson for me, and one that Ive tried to learn and emulate over the years. Michael Chiklis takes scenes where he plays his character right on the edge, so the audience has to decide, am I on this guys side, or not?

The number one thing I will not miss when the show is over is having my hair perfectly coiffed every day. But I love the suits. I love the shoes. I love everything else.
The writers make characters so real that you see their foibles The writers make characters so real that you see their foibles and their ridiculousness, but, at the same time, you see their humanity. And theyre doing that with Billings. and their ridiculousness, but, David Marciano is doing a great job of playing him. Hes hilarious. at the same time, you see Finding out Lem was going to die in Season Five was a shock. It was the beginning of the realization that, oh, this is all coming to an end. That was a seminal moment. Here was the one guy you cared about, and you were going their humanity.
to kill him? You see it as great television and great storytelling. And yet, for us, it sucked because we didnt get our buddy to hang around with anymore. Not only did we come back to Season Six and Lem wasnt around anymore, but suddenly I was partnered with f**king Billings! I mean, how would you have felt? I lose Claudette Wyms and suddenly Ive got this clown as my partner. And shortly after we came back, Scott Brazil died, who was so important to the show in a thousand ways. Actors have itinerant lives. In movies, they form a little unit, and then its over. Three months? Six months? And you move onto the next thing. Here we have a functional family. Its fun to come to work, and we all like each other. Im in denial about this whole thing ending. Even if Im fortunate enough to get some sort of job that goes on for a while after this, the odds are small that it will be the same quality of work, quality of writing, quality of acting - and the crew. Theres a great story about Michelangelo doing an ice sculpture in Florence, and how the rest of the Florentines said this was his best work. Of course when spring came, it melted. So much of what actors do is that. Yet, not for us, not for this. This gets to go on and have a life of its own.

PERSPECTIVE WA LT O n G O G G I n S
The nature and tone of our show was DARKKKK. But I believe that darkness was balanced by an equally dark sense of humor. IT WAS ABSURD! IT WAS CHAOTIC! It was ORGANIZED, ABSURD CHAOS!!! I read the writers words, participated in the actors interpretations of those words and was speechless. Sometimes, I would leave work in extreme pain from pinching myself for the previous 10 hours. Chiklis used to say, Were like the RED SOXS everybody wins. My metaphor was simple. We have a deep bench. When Jay Karnes sang Hungry like the wolf, or Chiklis screamed, CHECK THE MUFF RIPPERS, I was beside myself. Watching Snell get his face burned, Catherine comment on 9/11, Jace battling with his sexuality, CCs nuanced morality, Kenny trading quips with Forrest, Benny jockeying for political power, David peddling condiments and Cathy dealing with Mackeys shit I would laugh a gut laugh as if Id been thrown in the briar patch. These were memories for a lifetime. Finding Shane Vendrells humanity was a daily challenge. How do you make a racist, volatile, philandering murderer likeable? What is redeemable about this guy? For me, it was a process of finding the guilt that he carried with him during quieter moments. It was then that he was forced to confront the person he was becoming. As an actor, some days were very difficult to get through. To be in Shanes head and in the maelstrom of his bad acts was not easy. I maintain that Shanes association with Vic Mackey perverted his moral compass. I dont believe that Shane was inherently corrupt. I believe that he got caught up in a cycle of lies and immoral behavior, which begets immoral behavior. Once that Pandoras box is opened, its impossible to close. I cant tell you how many times people on the street would come up to me and say WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING. I HATE YOU BUT I LOVE YOU. That visceral, conflicted reaction was a welcome confirmation that the writers and I were creating a complex threedimensional character. How I will miss SHANE VENDRELL. The most pivotal moment for Shane in this series, barring the final season, came in Frank Darabonts episode. I say to Vic, This is who you are. Look at me. I am you. We are the same. AHHH. What an insight. This is a man that truly accepted who he had become. For better or for worse this was it. The complexities of this friendship will forever be one of the highlights of my career. My opinion of Vic Mackey: a self-centered narcissist, incapable of accepting or understanding the ramifications of his own actions. A man whos ability to compartmentalize stunted his growth as a human being. Will he change? Seventh season anyone? The Strike Team was a pack of wild dogs. Vic Mackey was the pit bull. Sheer BRAVADO. Lemonhead was the golden retriever. Ronnie was the poodle with a mustache. (The smart guy work with me here) And me I was the MUTTthe MUTT who never got adopted The MUTT who chewed thru his chain and broke out of the Kennel. As I look back over seven years, Im most proud of three things: how we treated the guest actors that came on our show, how seriously we all took our respective crafts, and the general understanding that we were apart of something bigger than ourselves. I get emotional thinking about it. All the alleyways weve been in, the homes, all the doors weve knocked down, and the heads weve cracked. The good things we did. The bad things we did. There was a time there, at least in our own minds, Kenny, Michael, Dave and I, we felt like we were the BADDEST MOTHERFUCKERS on television. When we rolled down your street, you did not want us to knock on your door. Because it wouldnt be with a hand, it would be with a foot. When I came to this experience, I was a boy. Im leaving a man. Its been one of the singular most important experiences of my life. I am forever changed.
I knew nothing about the story, the network, or Shawn Ryan. Nobody did. As a matter of fact, my agents told me not to take this job. Theyre no longer my agents. When I read for the role, I felt very comfortable with Clark Johnson and Shawn and Scott Brazil, and with the role itself. I thought, well, I guess Im supposed to play a cop now. When we first started shooting, the first episode that I and some other actors had a strong reaction to was called Cherrypoppers, about young girls and pornography. I thought, holy shit, what have I gotten myself into? But then we got a copy of the pilot. I thought, well, if the other scripts are produced and acted and written as well as this pilot, okay. Im still scared shitless, but okay. This was my first TV series so, in the first couple of episodes, I wanted to look hot and wear lipstick and be cute. And they said, Unh-uh, thats not THE SHIELD. At the beginning of the season when I was pregnant, Shawn said to me, How would you feel about showing your belly? At that point, I was six months along, and I had this little bump. But they waited until I was nine and a half months pregnant. Everybody said, Oh, you look beautiful. But I was huge! Now that Im not 200 pounds and my son is almost two years old, I look back and Im really glad I did it. A lot of people ask me if that was a prosthetic, but, no, that was my real belly. A really challenging storyline for Julien was when he was coming to terms with whether or not he was gay. We shot the scene in the bathroom. Michael was really churning up some stuff, and it was painful to watch, as an actor. It was quiet and tender and sad . But, it was very SHIELD-ian and very Scott and Shawn to not over-portray the emotion. And the scene plays more powerfully because you dont really know whats going on with these people.
C AT H E R I n E
D E n T
When I came to this experience, I was a boy. Im leaving a man. Its been one of the singular most important experiences of my life. I am forever changed.
I read the script in about 25 minutes on a plane heading to my best friends bachelor party. There was another four and a half hours to go before I could call my agent and plead to be the first person at the audition. I just wanted a shot, an opportunity to put my best foot forward. I, like everybody else, knew this story was special. There wasnt much for the character of Shane to do in the pilot. I simply had faith that being inexorably tied to VIC MACKEY, in the original sin of the show, would allow for the development of this character in ways that I knew not. I kept telling myself, BELIEVE. BELIEVE. This is your time. Alas. The call came. My agent was on the other end of the line You got it I got it? You got it. Beat, Beat, Beat, LOUD SCREAM. Then, REALLY LOUD SCREAM. After being cast as SHANE, I knew my life would change. I just didnt understand the extent, to which that change would be. There was an instant connection between the strike team. The BALD one exuded this confidence that was infectious. After the first day, with Scott producing, Shawn writing and Clark Johnson directing I thought to myself THIS IS IT. The job Ive been waiting for. These people, this crew, these actors are going to be in my life for a very long time. I think the general consensus was HELL YEAH!!!
This was my first TV series so, in the first couple of episodes, I wanted to look hot and wear Dutch is probably my favorite character. I love the Billlings character with lipstick and be cute. And they Dutch. I enjoyed seeing those two seventh graders going to work every day and fighting it out in the schoolyard. said, Unh-uh, thats not What we have is so rare. But it is stressful. The hours are long. The storylines are dark and depressing, sometimes, and sad. And some of the place we shootyou THE SHIELD. know, real poverty and real disparity, and real needles and real human shit. It has
brought a level of humanity to all of us. I knew it existed. I read the paper. But I wasnt living in that world before. And Im grateful for the experience. Im saying goodbye to my character by cutting off all my hair and becoming a redhead, and losing twenty pounds. I need to do this karmic scrub. Ive been carrying this sort of cop weight around with me. Im very gratefulbut its been heavy to carry around. I want people to remember THE SHIELD as groundbreaking television. I hope its as unforgettable to the history of television as it is to those of us who worked on it.

PERSPECTIVE M I C H A E L J A C E
When I first read THE SHIELD, I liked the script. But everyone I was working with was saying, Dont do it, because no one had heard of FX, and it seemed like they werent going to be able to pay anything. After I read it, I thought if hes fighting for his belief in God, his family and his community and hes free to choose that as opposed to being forced to look at him through the prism of a fixed sexual orientation then theres a lot to work with this could be something great. I had hoped they would highlight Juliens relationship with CCH Pounder. When hes had a difficult time, shes always sort of been there for him. Because there are so many characters in the show and Julien is not the major character, its difficult to establish a lot of relationships. There are a lot of things that you dont necessarily see onscreen and yet you have to assume they happened. When we came back for Season Two, I hoped that we could maintain that same level of work, and stay as close as we were. You hear horror stories about a show being successful, and then everything just falls apart. Fortunately, we havent had to deal with that. Getting up at 3:30 and having to be here at 4:45 is something I wont necessarily miss, although I didnt have to do it that many times. My favorite character, outside of my own, is Dutch. I find myself always rooting that hes going to get the girl, or that hes going to solve the case. Because Julien came in as a rookie and Danny was a training officer, theres always been that struggle. There was always that sort of relationship like siblings, younger brother and older sister. But as Julien grew and decided who he was that had to change. You kind of have to figure out how to walk like a cop with all that heavy gear. Clark Johnson, the director of the pilot, was like, You guys dont look like cops. And Catherine and I just looked at each other and laughed and kind of figured it out. After six years, Im glad to say that Ive learned how to walk like a cop.
How I joined THE SHIELD was interesting because Scott Brazil and Shawn Ryan called me and said Dave, we want you to be on the show, but we cant afford for your character to speak in the pilot. So wed like you to be an extra, but youd have a real part if the show goeswhat do you think? I said Id have to think about it. I thought, how much is this fourth guy on the Strike Teamwho doesnt even talk in the pilotever going to get to do? I figured if I passed on Ronnie another better part might come along. Seven seasons later, it would have been a crushing mistake to have passed on Det. Ronnie Gardocki. The pilot was one of the best things Id ever read, but wondered how we were going to do this for a whole seriesVic Mackey and his boys keeping this tightrope walk going. It never occurred to me wed be able to do it for seven seasons. I was just glad we had a Season Two. That was my first thought: thank God for Season Two. And Season Two was huge for Ronnie because, of course, I went from Horrible Mustache Guy to Horrible Mustache Guy with Burned Face. My wife really loves the fantastic bad guys THE SHIELD has. She thinks the key to every SHIELD season is the bad guy. My favoriteand its hard to pick just onewas probably Armadillo in Season Two. He was such a vile, horrible person that by the time Vic took his face and shoved it on that stove, you thought, yes! If anybody deserved it, that guy did. Of course then he turned around and burned Ronnies face. But that allowed me to transition from Horrible Mustache Guy with Burned Face, to Bearded Guy with Scar. My wife definitely liked the beard better than the mustachethank you Armadillo.

You hear horror stories about a show being successful, and then everything just falls apart. Fortunately, we havent had to deal with that.
And Season Two was huge for Ronnie because, of course, I went from Horrible Mustache Guy I loved THE SHIELD Momentsthe ones that you couldnt imagine seeing on any other show. Like when when Shane Vendrell urinated on a guy in Season to Horrible Mustache Guy with One. Shane was a just a great and wild charactermost of the time Ronnie wondered, Are you on our team, or are you just trying to make life harder for Burned Face. us? Ultimately that question answered itself.
The show always had great consequences. When Vic did something horrible, in some way he paid for it. THE SHIELDs world felt like a just world to me. I really felt like that everything we did wrong, we paid for in some wayjust maybe not the standard way. THE SHIELD had great directorsso many. Frank Darabont was wonderful to work with. You left the day working with Frank thinking, Im one of the finest actors of my generation. In fact, Frank Darabont will always want to work with me. I remember talking to Jay Karnes about ithe felt the same way. Everybody didFrank was just so positive. So what happened? Shortly after directing his episodeduring our hiatusFrank shot a movie in Louisiana. He took THE SHIELDs camera crew with him--but none of the actors. Ronnie was such an interesting challenge, because he wasnt fleshed out on the pageso you have to figure out what you can bring to the group. I figured out that all of his underlings really wanted to be Vic. Lem wanted to be all the good with none of the bad. Shane wanted to be the bad(ass) and couldnt care less about the good. Ronnie was the smart one. He knew he didnt have Vics political savvy or charismaor even his twisted moral authority. But Ronnie could see his own weaknesses better than Lem or Shane could. And he kept preparing himself to take over for Vic when the time was right.

PERSPECTIVE C AT H y C A H L I n R yA n
My husband, Shawn Ryan, was hired to write a pilot for FOX Television Studios, and it was supposed to be a comedy. Nothing really jelled, and they finally said to him, Just write what you want to write. Inspired by all the Rampart scandals and what was going on in the LAPD at the time, he wrote THE SHIELD pilot. My part, Corinne Mackey, had probably three or four lines in the pilot, but as the season progressed, the role became bigger. In Season One, Corinne was very ignorant of most everything Vic was doing. I had to play it like a very over-burdened, tired wife who still loved her husband even though everyone else in the audience knew he was sleeping with hookers, and doing all those horrible things. For my character, I was going for a very real look. I even wore my own maternity clotheseven though Corinne wasnt pregnantbecause I was more comfortable in them. There is something about a woman who is not a perfect size two. Vic and Corinne start off married in Season One and end up divorced. In the last season, Corinne begins to understand the person that Vic really is. I found Vics relationship with Connie, the hooker, interesting in that he found more tenderness with her than with his own wife. One of my favorite dramatic scenes came in Season One, where Corinne walks out on Vic, and hes left alone in that house, and he starts breaking down. It was pretty intense. Another dramatic scene I liked was when Kavanaugh breaks Corinne down and she rats on Vic. In Season Four, Jay Karnes played my love interest. Shawn and I are close friends with him and his wife off the set, so it was an uncomfortable, awkward situation. We never kissed, but we came close. It was awkward for Shawn to watch our scenes in editing, but I think Jay and I delivered on screen. Michael Jace is one of the best actors Ive seen on TV. He played the complexity of the homosexual/heterosexual world so beautifully that your heart went out to this guy. I wanted to do scenes with him, but that never happened. David Mamet came to direct an episode, and I cant say enough nice things about him. It was a feather in our cap to have Glenn Close do the show. It helped us in a sense of momentum, to push us a little more forward. And it was good storytelling on the writers part. As for controversy, there was one episode that David Mamet directed where Dutch strangles a cat. People were offended, but theyre not always going to like what you do. FX has allowed Shawn and the writers to write what they want. If they wanted to show David Aceveda get raped by a man, they did it. One of my biggest memories is at the Golden Globes, after the first season. We were all sitting around the table before our category was announced. I remember Michael Chiklis saying, Everybody needs to freeze this moment, and remember it, because it may not come again. Im proud of Shawn, who, when he started this thing, had never run a show before. He has become not only what I think is a great writer, but a great businessman, and wonderful to work with. I see how people respond to him. Im also proud of what everyone did on the showthe workmanship and the professionalism. Im going to cry. I dont know how to say goodbye. Im just going to enjoy every week that we have left, and walk away.
Before I came to FX, I was working at NBC, and we were wondering how we could compete with programs like The Sopranos, because they could do things we couldnt. FX pioneered the idea that you could take very edgy, very adult, very risky programming and find advertisers who would support it. The show was never designed to be about a case of the week or cops going out and catching criminals. It was a long-arcing, very complicated morality tale. It was always about race, gender, corruption, and urban policing. It was about a cop who had made a terrible mistake in the first episode and had murdered another police officer. It was about him trying to run away and escape the moral consequences of that act, and about all of the attempts by various people and forces to ultimately catch up with him. THE SHIELD is a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. It is both an episodic show and a novel or play in three acts. The first act involves Vic Mackey and the Strike Team stealing money from the Armenians. The second act is about the unraveling of the Strike Team and the money train. The third act ends in the battle between Shane and Vic, who has created a Frankenstein monster in his own image. I said to Michael Chiklis, Youre the Johnny Carson of FX. I told Shawn Ryan, Your show is the first brick to build this network. People in the business were stunned when Michael won the Emmy Award, and then, several months later, the Golden Globe, and the series won for Best Drama. It was unprecedented, and it heralded in a new era in television.

FX has allowed Shawn and the writers to write what they want.
Each actor and character took me to a place that no one had Shawn and I talked about how many seasons the show ought to have. Shawn concluded that the act that Vic commits in the first episode had to be reckoned taken me before
with, and if the show were to remain true to itself, it would have to unspool over timeit had to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. The soul and moral conscience of the show is CCH Pounders character, Claudette Wyms. She is battle-hardened, a woman, an African-American, and is dealing with a physical ailment. There are performances by Jay Karnes that are as fine and nuanced as anything ever done on television. Michael Jaces character wrestles with his own sexuality, his Christian faith, and his sense of wanting to be a certain kind of man and father. His and Claudettes complex feelings, being African Americans in a police force thats perceived by the community as an occupying force, are part of the subtle, complex, thematic material that deals with race. If you think of THE SHIELD as a Shakespearean tragedy, you know its not necessarily going to end well for the lead character, but you have to wish and yearn for his redemption. We talked about bringing in a new character that would go toe-to-toe with Vic, but not in a physical sense. We wanted a mature female actor, and the strongest one we could think of was Glenn Close. Glenn Closes character comes in and seemingly offers Vic Mackey an opportunity at redemption, but ultimately realizes she has made a deal with the devil. I didnt think we could match the intensity and quality of Glenn Closes Monica Rawling arc, but what Forest brought with Kavanaugh was as fine a chapter as any in the entire saga, and one of the most interesting melds between actor and role Ive ever seen. The most controversial thing on the show, Benito Martinezs Aceveda being raped, became a very long-arcing meditation on this proud mans ego and his sense of what it is to be a man. Without the caliber of Benitos performance, THE SHIELD would have been a lesser show. Each actor and character took me to a place that no one had taken me before, as a viewer, where I thought about the human spirit and its capacity for good and evil in a different way because of the actors performance. The end of a story has to feel both surprising and inevitable. It was really important to us that THE SHIELD go out as it began, as a truly uncompromising, truly original work of art.

PERSPECTIVE P E T E R L I G U O R I
When I became president of FX Networks in 1998, there were no expectations, no road map. There was a big gap between HBOwhich seemed to have a monopoly on high-quality, authentic, more adult-oriented programmingand the general entertainment broadcast networks, like TNT, TBS and USA. We decided to be in the middle, ad-supported, but to go after subject matter in a more authentic fashion and not worry too much about how wed get advertisers. Before Kevin Reilly, who had a track record in series development, came on board, cable was a bastion of low-cost programming with everything produced on the cheap. If we were going to compete with HBO and the Showtimes of this world, I would need a partner who had the courage to go with us, to shoulder that expense and creative vision. Every page of the pilot script was electric. It became apparent that Shawn Ryan knew where to mine true character, and that it came from a more instinctive, artistic bent than the angry exercise it might have been. My first impression of Michael Chiklis? Disaster. How, in Gods name, could The Commish be the most testosterone-ridden character in the history of television? I remember the day distinctly. We had an archaic-looking conference room from the fifties at FX. I saw a bald gentleman wearing a tight, black T-shirt who looked like he had been working out a lot. He was chewing gum. I saw the veins popping out on his head. He read with the casting director and basically scared the living daylights out of her. When he got up and left the room, everyone was dead silent. People turned around and looked at me. And my response was, he didnt just win the role, he WAS the role. He had sucked all the air out of the room. Kevin and I had a hard talk about how the pilot was going to end, because we filmed it as scripted. He said, If we go with this ending, Vic Mackey is going to be a bad dude throughout the series. And I said, It may just be the difference between growing up in Port Jefferson, where Kevin grew up, or the Bronx, where I grew up. In our social pecking order, snuffing out a rat takes precedence over being a good, clean cop. Ive always loved the relationship between Vic and Shane. Its such a fatherson relationship, two people looking at themselves in a mirror and seeing each other. Shane was, in many ways, the worst of Vic Mackey. And Vic Mackey was, in many ways, the aspiration of Shane. The night of the Emmys, when Michaels name was announced, it was mindblowing. It was an underdog story that this roly-poly comedic actor on a very small cable network, on a show that garnered as much criticism as it did praise, all of a sudden won. By the Golden Globes, we were cocky. But we honestly didnt think the Hollywood Foreign Press would respond well to THE SHIELD. European culture is way less receptive to violent content; their cops dont carry guns. The show and Michael won, anyway, and for us, it was justification that we had done something of high quality. THE SHIELD proved more than anything that flawed characters, in many ways, are the characters that people relate to most. And thats where the entertainment value came from, that relate-ability to someone who wasnt a born hero. On many levels, that show forced the whole creative community to say, If youre comin to play, you better put your game face on, because the rules have now changed. Were changing audiences appetites, and either youre going to feel like cotton candy or youre going to feel like steak. And this is what steak looks like today.
In September of 2000, I didnt even know where the network was. But Peter Liguori, with his background at HBO, was very convincing, and it seemed like there was nowhere to go at FX but up. Early on, someone talked to me about Shawn Ryan. This guy is a good writer. Maybe you want to develop with him. So they sent over the spec script for THE SHIELD, and it knocked me out. We called up Shawn, sat him down, and said, Well, well make this. He was kind of shell-shocked, and asked, You mean, this script? Shawn happens to be the rare breed of a talent and a great guy to work with. Hes also got a good poker face, because he seemed supremely confident in his ability to pull it off, and yet later said that he was pretty panicked. That confidence, ultimately, has served him well. We partnered him up with another great guy named Scott Brazil, an award-winning producer. He said to Scott on day one, I have no idea what Im doing. And Scott said, Dont worry. Well be fine. When Michael Chiklis got hip to what we were up to, I got a call saying, You know, Chiklis likes the role. He was certainly an established star, but we said, We probably cant afford him, and hes just not the way we see the role. But we were having a hard time casting it, and we let him come in and read. Michael was chewing Nicorette gum when he bolted in the door with that laser focus he brought to the role, and read the sides. It was literally like testing G-forces. Our faces were peeled back. And he just kept chewing his gum. There were no hellos, no chit-chat. He did the thing, and he walked out of the room with that Vic Mackey vibe to him. We said, Well, okay, there it is.

The pilot knocked me out. This kind of show was a The pilot knocked me out. This kind of show was a storybook thing that comes storybook thing that comes along very infrequently. I always say that my experience at FX was like The Bad News Bears winning the World Series. It was a pretty ragtag operation without a along very infrequently. tremendous amount of success. But with the combination of critical supportthe
Emmy, the Golden Globe, and the record ratingsit just kept delivering. At the Emmys, Liguori and I were sitting next to Chiklis. The announcement was made, and he started to get up, and Peter and I almost grabbed him, thinking, What are you getting out of your chair for? And we realized his name was called. The irony was that Liguori and I didnt even have tickets to the Governors Ball because they were $2,000 apiece. We had to scam our way in, like two idiots. I have a fond place in my heart for THE SHIELD because it recalls a moment in time when we were all taking a bet together. I was in charge of original programming for this basic cable network, and I wasnt going to get a lot of shots. If THE SHIELD didnt work, I had probably fired the one bullet in my gun. The shows legacy is bold storytelling that found its niche, and showed that there could be quality work done on the less conventional channels. Season to season, we would say, well, thats it, theyve hit the high water mark and they cant possibly top itand then they would. I owe a lot to THE SHIELD. We didnt create the show as executives. We just tried to create an environment for talent. And when that talent can do everything you hope for and then some, it ends up being good for all your careers.

CCH POUNDER, Co-Star of THE SHIELD

THE SHIELD family suffered a tremendous loss last year with the death of Scott Brazil, who joined the series in the first season as Executive Producer and Director. The award-winning television producer/director of groundbreaking drama series such as THE SHIELD and Hill Street Blues, died last April from respiratory failure due to complications from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrigs disease) and Lyme disease. Despite his failing health, Brazil continued working, casting, prepping and producing THE SHIELD right up until his passing, during shooting of the first episode of season six. Scott served as Executive Producer of THE SHIELD, FXs first original drama series which premiered in March of 2002. He directed more episodes of THE SHIELD than any other director (11 of the series 75 episodes produced to date), including multiple season premieres and finales during the shows first four seasons. Brazil, along with SHIELD creator and Executive Producer Shawn Ryan, won the 2002 Golden Globe Award for Best TV Series Drama, becoming the first producers ever to win that award for a series televised by an advertiser-supported cable network. THE SHIELD also captured the 2005 Peabody Award for the series fourth season. For his work as a producer on the NBC classic police drama Hill Street Blues, he won two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series (1983,1984) and received two nominations in that category (1985, 1986), and won one Golden Globe Award for Best TV Series Drama (1983) and received two Golden Globe nominations in that category (1984, 1985). In addition to directing numerous episodes of THE SHIELD and Hill Street Blues, he directed multiple episodes of FXs Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning drama series nip/tuck; the ABC hit drama series Greys Anatomy; the CBS hit series CSI: Miami, NCIS (second half of the two hour pilot), JAG, and Nash Bridges; Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the WB; and the pilot episode of ESPNs critically acclaimed and controversial drama series Playmakers. He was a co-executive producer of the acclaimed series Gideons Crossing, starring Andre Braugher. Over the past several years, Brazil was actively developing television series for numerous networks. As recently as two weeks prior to his death, SPIKE TV ordered a pilot, The Kill Pit, from Brazil and James DeMonaco that Brazil was signed to executive produce and direct one of only two original drama series pilots ever ordered by the network. He also had other projects in development with Norman Morrill, who created Thief for FX, and another one with Adam Rapp, a Pulitzer Prize candidate for his play Red Light Winter. Brazil was born on May 12, 1955 in Sacramento and moved to Marin County when he was 12. He was a graduate of the University of Southern California, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the Annenberg School of Journalism. He was an active member of the Directors Guild of America for 22 years and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. His first job out of college was working for MTM as a Production Assistant before quickly rising to the position of Associate Producer on MTMs production of the CBS series The White Shadow starring Ken Howard. He is survived by his wife, Marie; his daughter, Lindsay (15); his son, Mark (11); his father, David; his mother, Barbara; and brother, Griff. All of us at FX who worked closely with Scott Brazil are heartbroken at this loss. Everyone at this network owes Scott a debt of gratitude for the key role he played in launching THE SHIELD and with it our original programming brand. He was a peerless leader, artist and human being with an unforgettable combination of talent, strength, humility and generosity. He was the best of us, and we will miss him terribly. This was one of the good guys. Scott always took care of everyone and made them feel safe, but he also made sure that good work got done. In all the years Ive known him and worked with him, he never had a cross word for anyone, which is a hard thing to do in this tricky and sometimes mean-spirited business. It was an honor to have worked with such a tremendous producer, director and person. I met Scott as a terrified, acting neophyte on a show called The White Shadow. This was not only my first job in Hollywood but was also Scotts. He was an associate producer in the midst of full fledged producers who swirled around him with all the intensity, bravado and impatience that so often seems to come with the job. But even way back then, Scott was as gracious and humble as when I last saw him. Always reflective, making those around him feel they deserved the credit, the praise, the spotlight, he was an extraordinary exception to the oh-socommon rule of self importance. And that light, that grace will be missed not only by me personally, but by its impact, acknowledged or not, on us all.

I cannot think of anyone who engendered more Scott was a loyal friend, a brilliant creative affection, admiration and respect than Scott. He collaborator, and an immense talent as both a fiercely guarded the creative vision of THE SHIELD and producer and director. He brought a contagious zealously supported and loved all of his associates. He enthusiasm and passion to everything he did. My life never drew attention to himself and he deserves the was enriched in countless ways for having known ovation that we have for him in our hearts. It was our him.

I owe Scott a debt of gratitude for pulling together a level of production value and execution on THE SHIELD that conventional wisdom at the time said was impossible on basic cable. Scotts trademark was an unflappable demeanor and good humor. Scott was a top notch human being.
KEVIN REILLY,
You can tell in the first five minutes of meeting someone if they can do the job and it was like that with Scott. Our instincts were right about him. He was smart, focused and unpretentious. He was a tremendous talent and a wonderful person and he will be sorely missed.

A living example of humanity, humility and grace. I will celebrate his memory all the days of my life.
Scott was a giant.
MICHAEL CHIKLIS, Star of THE SHIELD
I will never forget Scott Brazil. He was that kind of a person.
Beneath the calm, kind, master-listener exterior was a black-belt risk taker: a man who not only looked into the dark side, but had the guts and the curiosity to dissect it, to find its place in the human soul. He was a sublime director, professional and prepared, but never rigid and always delighted by the unexpected. He loved to laugh, knowing when to let us all play. But most of all, and what makes him unforgettable, is that he was a prince of a man gravitas with a light touch. His belief in the potential of everyone around him elicited great, ground-breaking work...again and again. He will be missed because there is no one to take his place, but he will remain in our molecules, making us better, for the rest of our days.

SynOPSIS
Bottom Bitch. Tavon flying through a windshield. Introducing Mara, easily the most hated character on the show. Telling Benny what was coming up in Episode #5. Seeing him knock it out of the park with incredible bravery. The Decoy Squad. Lem burning the money. No Emmys or Golden Globes, but still loving the show. Never quite getting the showdown in Posse Up to quite work. David Mamet! David Fucking Mamet! Clark Gregg and Rebecca Pidgeon. Letting the cat live. Then deciding we needed to kill the cat. Making PETAs Worst 10 list. Being asked to do 2 extra episodes, which sounded cool at the time, but then felt like 5 extra episodes later on. Sweeping the Golden Satellites. Learning what the Golden Satellites were. Dean White getting to direct. The riceburner not exactly living up to what I imagined. Playing too much on-line poker, resulting in the titles for the last two episodes.

SynOPSIS
Maybe my favorite season (reserving the right to change it to the final season after I live with it for awhile). Forest Whitaker. Offering Corrine the stick of gum. Lem caught in the middle. Coldplay at the end of #1. Becca wanting to save our boys. Watching Kavanaugh slowly lose it. Sweet butter. Smashing Pumpkins as Lem decides to run. Shane and the grenade. Catherine pregnant which means Dannys pregnant. Definitely seeing the end of the tunnel now.
