Farrell plays an addicted officer whose life is entangled with career criminal Vaughn. McAdams plays an overtly honest detective on the force. Springfield’s role has not been announced.

As an actor, Springfield spent two years on the soap opera General Hospital and has occasionally returned to the role. He starred in the film Hard to Hold, has had regular appearances on TV series such as Californication and was an original cast member of the Broadway musical Smokey Joe’s Cafe.
