We love The Shield! Can't wait for the new season to start. The first season is coming out on DVD, with scenes that were too much for TV.
Speaking of strange to think of actors....remember the recruit in Full Metal Jacket that goes nuts right before graduation? Real loser type, the DI called him Gomer Pyle. Well, he's none other than Vincent D'Onofrio who is the genuis detective on Law & Order CI. Quite a change..
Actually, come to think of it, he was in Adventures in Babysitting, he was the guy that the little girl thought was Thor, her hero. The one that fixed the car.
