But we see the dirt behind the veil of the cops.

Bacon has played Bostonians before inMystic RiverandPatriots Day but hisCityrole is unlike anything hes done before.

The character just jumped off the page, he says.

In almost every scene, hes doing something despicable, manipulative, inappropriate.

I dont believe in good guys and bad guys, says Fontana.

EvenOzwas not a show about bad guys, it was a show about human beings.

And this is also a show about human beings.

City on a Hillpremieres June 16 on Showtime.
