He’s a dedicated, hard-nosed cop to the core, and he’s like a pit bull that can’t let go of a bone when he gets the bad guy in his sights. He’s just about the coolest character I know, and I’ve come to know him so well I feel I’d recognize him if I passed him on the street. I’ve had a longtime love for Lucas Davenport.
