CCH Pounder Looks Back on "The Shield"

Memories from the Set: CCH Pounder on "The Shield"


Mention to Pounder the acclaimed FX drama, on which she for all seven seasons played Captain Claudette Wyms, and what first comes to mind?

"Besides that bald-headed Chiklis boy…?" she quips.



Turning serious, she hails "The Shield" as "the pioneer in gray shows, in the sense that it was not black-and-white, not everything got wrapped up in a little bow, the good guy didn't always win at the end of 45 minutes."

In fact, the cops at the heart of the series weren't always the good guys, "and there were moments of deep goodness in really horrible people," Pounder recalls. "It looked at the gray area of life that had hardly ever been explored in the forum of television."
