Jerry O'Connell
8 Days
|May 10, 2018
The Stand By Me and Jerry Maguire star, 48, on his meta new show Carter, where he plays an actor pretending to be a detective.
8 DAYS: On Carter, you play Harley Carter, a Hollywood actor who sidelines as a police consultant in his hometown in Canada. What drew you to the project?
JERRY O’CONNELL: They wrote a script and they sent it to me. I’ve done these types of shows; Carter is about an actor who worked on a crime show, then moved back to his small hometown where he uses his knowledge from working on a crime show to help the police. I also worked on another show called Crossing Jordan for six years. It just really made me laugh that I would be this amazing television detective who [thinks he’s an] amazing detective [in real life]. Also, when I knew that Sydney Tamiia Poitier, who plays Harley’s childhood friend and the local cop, was going to be in it, I knew it was going to be a special experience. I first met her when we went to the New York University, and I really wanted to work with her.
You’ve played cops on a few occasions. Do you think you’d make a good cop in real life?
