True DetectivealumStephen Dorffis ready to revolutionize the web link cop drama or at least go down trying.
Ahead ofDeputys Thursday premiere at 9 p.m. Its going to reach more people if we make something good.
And I thought, Yeah, he can.

FOX
Its all really in the execution and vision of each specific thing.
Theres a real honesty to him.
Its about balancing that and I think thats what the show explores.

FOX
Did you take anything from makingTrue Detectiveand bring it toDeputy?Not really.
Theyre very different characters, even though they have some similarities in that they like horses and western culture.
I didnt really necessarily bring anything toTrue Detective.

FOX
Bill is a kind of a character I havent really played before, because I havent been old enough.
I dont really watch web link television myself.
Things wont get wrapped up all the time sometimes they will, but the bigger picture, maybe not.
I dont know if I get shot, I dont know if I get killed.
So theres a bit of spontaneity to it, but Bills a kind of spontaneous character.
David Ayer literally comes from the street.
And then you fill it with all these incredible supporting players around me.
I want to play a character who people want to see every week.
The issue of immigration plays a major role in the pilot.
Will a focus on relevant social issues be something we should expect to continue?Yeah, pretty much.
I always say that I dont want to do an episode if its been done onCSI: Miami.
Its always the same, so its really in the execution.
I dont want him to just be a guy in a cowboy hat.
[Laughs] And thats a cool character to play.
