“The Shield’s” rogue LAPD Detective Vic Mackey, played by Michael Chiklis, found himself in the center of an investigation focusing on his worst sin.  Believing a member of his Strike Team, Detective Terry Crowley played by Reed Diamond had betrayed his team. he shot him and blamed it on the bad guys.

Last season was excellent as Internal Affairs Lt. Jon Kavanaugh played by Oscar winner Forest Whitaker investigated the death, the pressure came down hardest on Strike Team member Curtis “Lemonhead” Lemansky played by Kenneth Johnson.

More drama an twists to expect this season for the hit FX Network series, as Chiklis plays his Vic with many complex layers to his character Vic Mackey, balancing our perception of him as a villain or a hero.

Michael Chiklis is a son of Lowell, Massachusetts, also the birthplace of Jack Kerouac and Ed McMahon.  The die-hard Boston Red Sox fan is a first generation Greek-American, and speaks Greek fluently. 

Shield fans take heart, the anticipated season six opens this Tuesday at 10 p.m., Vic is frantic to find Lem’s killer, not knowing it is of the men at his side. At the same time, Kavanaugh despairs over the death of the man he hoped would crack the case and ratchets up his efforts to put Vic behind bars. All the while, Shane struggles to keep his secret from Vic.

Keeping the relentless pace and action of the show up, the series is said to end in after season seven, and the shows writers and creator have promised cast and fans the scripts will continue to keep everyone on the edge of their seats.
