Kangaroo Jack star Anthony Anderson is joining the cast of FX cop drama The Shield. He will appear in at least 10 episodes of the series, which begins its fourth season in March. Anderson and Glenn Close play the season's leading new characters.

According to Variety, Anderson will play Antwon Mitchell, a former gang leader and drug dealer just out of prison. The character will claim to be on the straight and narrow, though his actions won't match his words.

Michael Chiklis stars as lead Det. Vic Mackey.

The tv show The Commish has been coming out on dvd and I saw it described as Chiklis "bending the rules" as a police commisioner.

Tony Scali's got nothin' on Vic Mackey.

Is anyone watching this season?
I was skeptical when I heard Glenn Close was joining the cast but I think her character is going to be an interesting one.

 

[nathan]

The Glenn Close character is much better than I expected. The Shield is definitely one of my favorite shows.

I am sure somoene has mentioned it in the past but I don't see it as being on here anytime recently but does anyone watch the Shield?? I think it is on FX and i am pretty sure that they are just showing re runs right now but it is a sweet show. if anyone watches it and knows when the new season starts let me know. I am pretty sure it starts in January but I am not positive. Thanks

It looks like Forest Whitaker will be Vic's nemesis this season.
I've always liked him as an actor, should be a good season.

 

[O]

Anybody watching?
It's getting interesting.

 

[nathan]

Last night's episode was great, although I think that Forest Whitaker's fit was a little bit over the top.

 

[Divide Et Impera]

This show is awesome. I thought the fit was, uh, fitting. Here's a guy who is dedicating his every waking moment of his lif to uncover corruption and he blatantly gets outfoxed by Vic and the guys and ends up with egg all over his face. Looks like it's no more Mr. Mice Guy from here on out. Kavannaugh is getting personal based on the previews for next week. Can't wait!

 

[nathan]

Great episode tonight. I think there's a good chance that the series ends this season and likely with the death of at least Vic. I don't see how they're going to be able to beat the rap.

 

[Divide Et Impera]

Lem shoulda let the grenade blow Kav up. You know Vic woulda....

Last night's episode was intense....

Last night's episode was intense....

THey stayed in the room watching Cavanaugh for far too long..idiots...

Cant believe they threw Lem in the tank and Vic just stood there.

 

[Divide Et Impera]

WTF!?!?!?!?

Lem is dead, dude! Punk ass Vendrel dropped a grenade in his lap. That scene was magnificently acted. There was such an innocent, pure, helpless aura about Lem. He was like a child - so nervous, but so relieved. Vendrel's selfishness and conflict caused him to take Lem's life. I don't think I breathed for the last 20 minutes of the show.

I can't believe the season is over. There is SO much to cover next season and hopefully beyond. This season was superior to last season. Kavannaugh played a great role this season as a very edgy thinking man. Claudette will make a GREAT captain next season and her character is one of my favorites on the show. Dutch got a lesson in Pimpology and it looks like it's gonna work.

I wonder who they bring on as a 4th for the Strike Team. I wonder if this grenade killing keeps Kav in the fold. I wonder if Claudette's lupus interferes with her tactical capabilities as a captain. I wonder how Vic will find out Vendrel killed Lem. I wonder if Vic kills Vendrel.

God. How could they end teh season like this? Is it time for season 5 yet?

 

[Divide Et Impera]

"Shane? SHANE?!?!?!"

*Booooom*

That scene was the kicker....

All he wanted was a sandwich. The poor guy was starving....

 

[Divide Et Impera]

No Shield fans?

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Holy crap, I cannot believe Shane killed Lem!! I knew it was coming, but DAYUM!!!

Mackey is going to skin Shane alive!!! I wish the fight between vick and Cavanaugh would have been more brutal. Good to see that Whitaker's character may return next season.

So, Wagonbach is looking to "turn out" the young officer by applying the "pimpology" from the "laywer." I guess he is looking for another way to "kill the cat."

 

[Divide Et Impera]

I have never felt so sad over a TV character....

Dutch is in. That Pimpology stuff will work for him. He's always been a gawky, akward, wannabe ladies' man, but that advice may finally help him turn the corner....

 

[JerkFace]

i had it tivo'd and finally got to watch it tonight....all i can say is wow......i am still absorbing what happened.

 

[Divide Et Impera]

Anyone know anything about next season yet?

Are they EVER going to tie up the storyline about that black dude who was on the Strike Team that went through the windshield in Season 2?
