Behind the Scenes:

Bruce Greenwood, who convincingly portrayed President John F. Kennedy in the Cold War era drama Thirteen Days, portrays Bennie Macko, the head of Internal Affairs. He signed on because "The chance to work with good material and a strong cast under a talented director doesn't come along as often as you might think, and this project had all these ingredients," says Greenwood. "I've wanted to work with Harrison and Ron for a long time and to have the opportunity all at once was a real treat, I enjoyed every minute of it and I'd gladly go back for more."
