Police off the Cuff After Hours # 10 with retired NYPD Sergeant and actor Michael Devine

Retired NYPD Detective Sergeant and actor Michael Devine is starring in an all-too-real role in the upcoming HBO series The Undoing. The series is set to premiere on Oct 25th. Working alongside leading actors Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, Michael plays the series regular role of ‘Detective Paul O’Rourke’. In real-life, Michael is a recently retired Detective Sergeant for the New York Police Department (NYPD), which allowed him to bring a realness to the role, touching on past experiences in law enforcement. With a long-standing career behind him, Michael can also be seen playing law enforcement roles in other notable films and television shows such as: The Wolf of Wall Street, Law & Order, Blue Bloods, Mozart in the Jungle, American Odyssey, Orange Is the New Black, Big Time Adolescence, The Post, and Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us. Most notably though, Michael played the series regular role of ‘James Tech Padgett’ in CBS’ Limitless. Michael was a 3rd generation policeman — and lost his father in the line of duty. During Michael’s fourth year as a policeman, he experienced the catastrophic events of 9/11 and was one of many brave policeman to have worked at Ground Zero. He spent 22-years in total working for the NYPD — 12 of which were spent in the Detective Bureau — and chose to retire this year to focus on his blooming acting career. With his powerful story and stacked resume, it’s clear that Michael Devine has become one to watch in Hollywood. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/otcpod1/support
