Futtocks Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Confirmed: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-61372712 I enjoyed New Tricks (although it had very much jumped the shark by the time Nicholas Lyndhurst's one-dimensional character was introduced). It felt like the cast were given a license to have fun with the "hardened cop" tropes, and really had a lot of fun doing it. 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

Futtocks Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Actor Mike Hagerty. Not a big star, but a character actor whose face crops up in all sorts of stuff. He's the pudgy, moustachioed bloke who you probably have seen in a career spanning over 100 movies and TV series. Here he is with Kurt Russell - yeah, he's that guy!
