    While Battle Creek is a real Michigan city, some aspects of it needed to be altered for dramatic value. Danny Weiss, one of the show writers, shared about the series, “We had to take some liberties, and we’re really trying to play up this under-funded police department. I think when [the crew] got there, the police department is the one part of Bat...

    Dean Winters thought this project was fresh, having passed on multiple procedurals that he felt were boring. “I felt like it was a new take on an old genre and that can be a good thing,” he said. But Duhamel feels TV these days is “as good as anything out there in film right now,” and he signs onto projects like this because of the people producing...

    Josh Duhamel told us that beneath his character Milton’s good looks something darker lurks: “This character lures people into believing that he’s somebody that everybody can trust. Part of that is the way I look in the show. I would normally have a problem with that, but it’s like setting the audience up for something.” For Russ, though, Dean Winte...

But when it comes to real-life experience contributing to his law enforcement role, he informed us that he previously worked as a security guard in a night club so he “got the frisking p...

    Duhamel had a chance to ride along with actual Battle Creek undercover detectives. He remembered that, while not witnessing any shootings or other dangerous shenanigans, he was once dressed up in the back of a car with an informant. “I don’t know how much I can tell you, I don’t want to get them into trouble,” he said, “but I saw some stuff that wa...

    Winters explained how his improvisational banter with Duhamel adds a fun, crispness to each of their characters’ personalities. “Even if we’re dealing with something kind of serious,” he said, “we’ll find a way to play with it, without changing the words. Just in the delivery and looks.” He added, “Josh is a funny guy. He’s easy to make fun of, too...

    Winters shared that the show was not initially written as funny. “I like to think that maybe I had something to do with that,” he ventured. “I’m a bit of an irreverent actor and I’m not sure that they were prepared for that. I did it on purpose because I was taught that you can’t have good drama without comedy. It’s impossible. Anything that is str...

    Duhamel doesn’t want people to expect Breaking Bad. “We’re not on cable TV; we’re on network TV,” he said. But once fans and critics get past any preconceived notions of what he show will be, “people are going to find themselves realizing that this is something completely different, and it’s its own animal altogether. If it’s what we hope it’s goin...
