Also starring are Jason Clarke as Detective Jarek Wysocki; Matt Lauria as Wysocki’s partner, Caleb Evers; Devin Kelley as rookie beat cop Vonda Wysocki, Jarek’s niece; Todd Williams as Isaac Joiner, Vonda’s part- ner; and Billy Lush as Irish mob insider Liam Hennessey. “It’s just a fascinating are- na,” Ryan says. “Having said that, you can look at that and say, ‘That’s not the way things should work.’ And at the same time the city is just gorgeous. They’ve gone on this explosion of building and construction. “It really is beautiful, and a lot of things run really, really well. It’s the kind of city where things get done. You look at New York City, and the way that there’s still a hole in the ground at the World Trade Center – they wouldn’t let that happen in Chicago. In Chicago, that stuff would be rebuilt by now.” But just how that stuff would be built – how the permits would be obtained, the financing, the labor, the land, etc. – is open for dis- cussion. If you watch “The Untouchables,” you can see a smiling alderman offer a bribe to Ness, who emphati- cally rejects it. “How about that?” Lindo says. “Certainly when they came to me with the offer to do this, the idea of playing a politician was very attrac- tive. Specifically, the idea of playing a Chicago alderman was interesting, knowing a little about that history.” “The ‘Chicago code’ it- self,” says Ryan, “is that the city is unique, and things just get done in a very spe- cific Chicago way. It’s just an interesting combination of Midwestern ethics with a kind of down-and-dirty Mid- western politics. “Chicago is just unique in the way the city runs and the way the people are – unique in bad ways and in good ways. People from that part of the country, as I am, carry a real pride not only about the strengths of that area but also the deficiencies. We like the way we are.” As to whether Alderman Gibbons considers himself a hero or is aware that he’s skating around the edges of legality, Lindo says, “Cer- tainly there’s an awareness of skating around the edges, but also an awareness of, ‘This is the way it’s done. This is Chicago. This is how things get done in this city.’ I didn’t have a sense of be- ing a bad person doing bad things, absolutely not, but rather a person who is very pragmatic and very realistic about the environment in which he is functioning. “He’s functioning in such “The Chicago Code” premieres Monday on Fox. a way to get things done for the people of Chicago. That was fundamentally the posi- tion I had, psychologically and emotionally. I absolutely did not think of myself as a bad person in this.”
