I really don't think there's such a thing as an ex-policeman.
I spent a lot of time with the LAPD. I spent six weeks training, weapons training, ride-alongs, surveillance, interviewing them, in all different departments and divisions.
I never saw myself as being a cop on TV.
Some of us have held the hands of friends or brothers as they struggled with military and police academy recruiters, and though many of them never dreamed of being policemen, a lack of opportunities led them to those positions.
I'm super-obsessed with law enforcement. I'm what you'd call a 'cop fan.'
The 'Police Academy' stuff was all hyper-slapsticky.
I want to go to police academy, I want to actually go out and make a couple of arrests. I want to go undercover.
I had a dream, when I was little, to become a police officer and a crime investigator.
In 'Dhil,' my character wants to become a cop, and those who want to become cops have a small waist. In 'Saamy,' where I play a cop, my waist is thicker. Because after you become a cop, that's how you look.
Where I grew up, most people were policemen. So naturally, I also wanted to be a policeman.
I've never been a cop nor hope to be a cop, thanks.
The most experience I had in the criminology field is playing a thug as an actor. That was my first paid job. The police academy at the college was paying people to reenact the calls that potential cops would get. So I got to play thugs and people who were unruly.
My father was a police officer in Los Angeles.
I've got hundreds of friends who are police officers. I work with the police.
Becoming a police officer is a choice. It's not something you're born into.
I've always wanted to play a police officer or a detective, because I think if I wasn't an actress that is what I would want to do.
I've played a lot of cops. In fact, my father was a cop.
I didn't take my vows to the LAPD.
In the last 5 years I've been working with the LAPD, training police officers in first aid and CPR.
I went and lived in Chicago for a year , and I studied at the police academy.
I'm from Chicago. My grandfather was a policeman, and my aunts are married to policemen.
I come from a police family. Both my parents are police officers.
Being a police officer in America is a tough job.
We must always remember that the police are recruited from the criminal classes.
We live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well, I didn't hear anybody laughing, did you?
