Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… a working-class boy who grew up to be a glamorous L.A. cop. Jack enjoys the spotlight more than most of his colleagues. He spends more time selling gossip to an L.A. scandal sheet than he does doing actual police work. It’s only when he sees evidence of corruption at the highest levels in the department that he feels responsible to help bring justice to his city.
Personality… slick, well-dressed, and generally looking out for Number One. Jack may seem like he just talks the talk, but when he gets involved with a case he cares about, he’s more than willing to walk the walk.
