Television cop drama Detroit 1-8-7 seeking extras in Michigan

Detroit 187 Extras CastingDetroit 1-8-7 airs at 10 pm ET/PT on ABC
American Broadcasting Companies, Inc.

The new ABC crime drama series Detroit 1-8-7 is casting extras in the Detroit metro area to work on the show this fall. What does it take to be a detective on America’s most dangerous streets? Get ready to be part of the action when a documentary crew rolls with some of Detroit’s finest, offering an insider’s glimpse behind the curtain of a Homicide Unit. The cameras unearth the crisis and revelation, heartbreak and heroism of these inner city cops—moments of raw exposure when they address us directly, as well as private moments when they forget they’re being filmed.

The pilot episode of Detroit 1-8-7 was shot in Atlanta, Georgia, however the series is filming in Detroit. Originally planned as a mockumentary, ABC decided to abandon the format after the city of Detroit banned camera crews from following real officers after a controversial police shooting during filming of the documentary series "The First 48". Scenes from the pilot were re-shot to remove the mockumentary format before the pilot episode aired.

John Roach, former Detroit Police Department spokesman, in speaking of the first Detroit 1-8-7 episode, said, "I think the show portrayed Detroit's police officers as real people, dedicated, even heroic, which is entirely deserved."

The series is broadcast on Tuesdays at 10 pm ET/PT on ABC

Story:

What does it take to be a detective on America’s most dangerous streets? Get ready to be part of the action when a documentary crew rolls with some of Detroit’s finest, offering an insider’s glimpse behind the curtain of a Homicide Unit. The cameras unearth the crisis and revelation, heartbreak and heroism of these inner city cops - moments of raw exposure when they address us directly, as well as private moments when they forget they’re being filmed. There’s the damaged but driven Detective Louis Fitch, a wily homicide vet who is the most respected - and most misunderstood - man in the division; Detective Damon Washington, Fitch’s new partner, who finds the first day on the job is a trial by fire, complicated by the imminent birth of his first child; Detective Ariana Sanchez, sexy, edgy and beautiful, who has emerged from a rough background to become a rising star in the department; Narcotics undercover cop John Stone, a streetwise smooth talker, clever and quick with a smile made for the movies, who is teamed with Sanchez - a combustible pairing rife with conflict and sexual tension; Sergeant Jesse Longford, a 30-year veteran struggling with his impending retirement from the force and the city he loves, who, together with his partner, Detective Aman Mahajan - a fully Americanized son of Indian immigrants - form an amusing mismatch of experience and enthusiasm, intellect and instinct, old school and new world, but whose combined skills have never encountered a case that couldn’t be cleared; and all are headed by Lieutenant Maureen Mason, a strong-willed single mom struggling to balance home and work.
