Charlie Almanza, 30-year veteran of the U.S. Marshals Service, previously worked on In Plain Sight and currently serves as Justified’s technical advisor. Almanza advises the show's writers’ room and also stands by on set to lend his expertise to the actors. "They’ll come to me and say ‘How would you feel?’ I’m actually telling them emotionally how I felt in a similar situation,” he says. "These actors are so good, they want to hear that, they want to feel the same emotion. There’s been times when I’m watching it on the monitor and I’m staring at this monitor and I feel what I felt at where I worked. That’s how realistic it becomes.”
