PREVIEW CLIP 1: JIMMY SMITS' CONFESSION ABOUT PROCEDURAL SHOWS 

For Screening/Broadcast Only: https://workspace.cimediacloud.com/r/DvPpzreROuJx 

Rachael Ray: Do you like procedurals as much as we like procedurals? I love watching the type of show you make so successfully.  

Jimmy Smits: The thing is, Rach, I really don’t like procedurals. I like procedurals that have good characters. That’s why I’m having such a good time on this show I’m working on now. 

Rachael Ray: What’s the process like on this show for you and your experience with it...how closely is it tied to what’s going on in our real life, how hard is everyone working on bringing reality together?  

Jimmy Smits: This is a police drama, so we have to kind of acknowledge what’s been happening, transpiring...in that hour you want to bring some kind of reality in terms of what’s going on. 



PREVIEW CLIP 2: JIMMY SMITS ON NEW POLICE DRAMA "EAST NEW YORK"  

For Screening/Broadcast Only: https://workspace.cimediacloud.com/r/DvPpzreROuJx 

Jimmy Smits Continues: When we grew up there were cops on the beat, right? and you knew everybody, again, not propagandizing we’re doing a television show...highlighting what the responsibility is for law enforcement in terms of being protectors and guardians as opposed to somebody who infiltrates a community. 

Rachael Ray: I think that’s such a difficult line to walk these days. 

Jimmy Smits: Absolutely, one hundred percent. 

Rachael Ray: Do you guys, when you do read throughs or the rehearsals, do you have conversations about that? 

Jimmy Smits: We do because we have great technical advisers...that try to keep us on the straight and narrow to let us know what law enforcement’s point of view is and then we’re talking about what the community’s point of view is and all that comes out during the read throughs. 

Rachael Ray: So, there is a conversation that goes on? 

Jimmy Smits: One hundred percent, we have to have that.
