Go behind the badge of BBC America’s COPPER – and get up-close with the tough but committed Detectives of Five Points at the center of this compelling all new original series.
“If Corcoran, Maguire and O’Brien were around today doing what they do, they’d be out of jobs quicker than anybody!” So proclaims Tom Weston-Jones (MI-5), star of COPPER. Agrees Series Co-Creator & Executive Producer, Emmy® Award Winner Tom Fontana (Homicide: Life on the Streets, Oz) says, “The police were a gang as much as any gang that existed in New York.”
Meet Kevin Corcoran (Weston-Jones), an intense, rugged Irish-immigrant cop working the city’s notorious Five Points neighborhood. Says Kevin Ryan (Detective Francis Maguire), “Kevin Corcoran is just like the Super Cop.” And Dylan Taylor (Detective Andrew O’Brien) concurs, ” In 1864, the Five Points New York, you don’t want to be on the end of [Corcoran]’s overhand-right!”
PLUS: Discovery what attracted Weston-Jones to playing Corcoran – and what makes it so fun to play the tortured anti-hero: “He just oversteps the mark so many times and pushes too hard for the things he wants… That’s what I love about his detective work.”
