NBC’s cop drama is adding two new recurring roles in season 2. They are…
Andre: Good-looking, slick, at times overly aggressive African-American male in his 30s. He’s Lydia’s (Regina King) new partner. Sees her as a rising star. She sees him as a pain in the ass. Series regular potential.
Gil: A native Los Angeleno of Mexican-American heritage, Gil is a NARC Detective on the force. Goes back and forth between aggressive and friendly. He’s in his 30s. Series regular potential.

how come “ethnic” characters are always “aggressive?”
hey
this show already has enough dudes..its based in LA…this is the one show they could get away with having pretty girls on..yet its full of men…
Does Lydia getting a new partner mean Tom Everett Scott’s character won’t be surviving?
Mikar Pfiffer would be cool. I know I screwed up the spelling lol
Or Jesse Martin (Law & Order)

So I guess that means Russell dies?
How about D.B. Woodside (24, Buffy) for Andre, and Anthony Ruivivar (Third Watch, Traveler) for Gil?
Partner? romantic I suppose and not professional …..
Miriam, it’s a cop show. Most of the characters are aggressive. I think the most aggressive character in the first season was the white guy who had to train Ryan from The OC. (Great show, but never bothered to learn their names!)
Kevin Alejandro for the narc.
Michael Pena for Gil. Loved him in Crash.
oops, forgot he’s already on the show!
dang… so I guess ole dude doesn’t make it.
Andre – Robert Ri’chard
Andre: Leonard Roberts
Nooooo please don’t get rid of Tom Everett Scott. He is the main reason I watch.
Jason George or Idris Elba for Andre
Benjamin Ciaramello for Gil
Jason George or Idris Elba for Andre
Benjamin Ciaramello for Gil
Yeah, does that mean no more Tom Everett Scott?
cooool!!!
The role of Gil just screams for Chris Gorham
oh, what about Jimmy Smits!!! He was awesome on Dexter last season.

Andre should definitely be the guy who was on sister, sister who was the security guard. He was also Joan’s boyfriend on Girlfriends. He’s got a police officer build and a possible annoyance factor that would work well with Regina King
Andre – Henry Simmons
Gil – Stephen Martines
“how come “ethnic” characters are always “aggressive?”"
well it’s a cop show, so most of the characters should be somewhat aggressive.
anyway i nominate Jamie Hector for Andre, after they wasted his talent on Heroes last year he deserves better.
Andre: Brian White (was on Moonlight and 12 Rounds) I think he’s a good looking guy who fits that description perfectly.
Does this mean Tom Everett Scott is gone!? He’s pretty much my main reason for watching this show. Boo!!!
Gil should be Gene Gabriel
Anyone that was a regular on “The Wire” will do fine. Erik King (Doakes) from Dexter would be great too. Kevin Alejandro or David Zayes (if he can do double duty) for the other
For Andre, I think D.B. Woodside would be awesome! Loved him on Buffy and 24.
