The premise

Here’s the bit.

An officer settles into a precinct-room chair to recall a dangerous bank stakeout. Just as a major heist seems imminent, his account veers into a much more ordinary court appearance. He retells a stop-sign dispute with the intensity of a heroic showdown, then adds a qualification that makes his certainty look less convincing.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

Before becoming an actor, John F. O’Donohue served with the New York Police Department and retired as a lieutenant.

The rabbit hole continues
