Line 5:
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Michael Chiklis when he was first cast as Vic Mackey, and later on Anthony Anderson as Antwon Mitchell.
* [[Reality Subtext]]: On numerous DVD commentaries, Shawn Ryan has stated that the character of Detective Dutch Wagenbach is largely based off of the real life/personality of Jay Karnes, the actor who plays the character. This has led to much teasing between Ryan and Karnes (who are long-time friends) on the DVD commentaries, whenever Ryan points out that just about every failed relationship the character Dutch has over the run the series is based (loosely) off of a real life failed relationship Karnes had.
* [[Real Life Relative]]: Cassidy, Vic's daughter, is played by his real life daughter.
* [[Stunt Casting]]: Glenn Close and Anthony Anderson in Season Four, Forrest Whitaker in Season Five, and Franka Potente in Season Six.
* [[Typecasting]]: Subverted; the series helped destroy the public image of Michael Chiklis as the stern but lovable father figure that had been hung around his neck since his early 90s series ''The Commish'' ended.
