are series stars Donnie Wahlberg (“Band of Brothers”)
as an emotionally drained detective matched with Mykelti
Williamson (“Forrest Gump”) as his slick,
overachieving partner. Also starring are Neal McDonough
(“Minority Report”) as an ambitious D.A.
and Gary Basaraba (“Brooklyn South”) as
a veteran patrol officer who is paired with a struggling
beat cop played by Jason Gedrick (“The Last Don”).
Nina Garbiras (“The $treet”) plays a nervy
newspaper reporter and Lana Parrilla (“Spin City”)
is a world-weary paramedic. “Boomtown” is
from NBC Studios and DreamWorks Television. Yost and
Avnet are executive producers; Avnet is the director. |

 During
the 1999 television season, Michael played the role of Paul Turk,
youngest son to Joseph Turk, played by the TV/movie star William
Devane. In this CBS hour-long weekly series, patriarch William
Devane is a Chicago cop, his two older sons are both Chicago cops,
but Michael plays something of a black sheep. His character had
gambling problems, was involved in some street fights and eventually
dropped out of college. Unfortunately, after a critically acclaimed
season, CBS didn't renew the series for 2000.
