Imassuredofthis - "I'm Assured Of This..."

Harlem is a very different place. We’re very convincing in our uniforms. I look like a real cop. You really have to have an eye to know that the badge on my shoulder is not in fact NYPD. When we shot the pilot, I decided to explore the neighborhood, because I thought, “This is where we’ll be. I want to know what it’s like to be around here,” but I wasn’t thinking that I looked like I was in an NYPD uniform. So I got different attention than what I would normally get while just walking down the street in my normal clothes. I had people thinking that I was really a cop. I had people who asked me for directions. I had people give me dirty looks. I had things thrown at me from the top of buildings. It was a really interesting thing that I hadn’t thought about. It was a good way to put myself in my character’s shoes, but maybe not the smartest thing to do.

What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone?
