Actually, Marky Mark was also once a New Kid, but he went
solo before they started recording. I know because I one lost
a bet on it.
However, Brian is absolutely right that Donnie was great in
Boomtown (as was the rest of the cast) and would make a great
Ellroy cop. (Donnie was also the psycho in the beginning of
Sixth Sense.)
On a sidenote, there seems to be a TV PI renaissance going
on. David Mills (of Kingpin, The Corner and NYPD Blue, among
may other things) is working on a series with Jimmy Smits as
a PI. Steven Bochco is working on a series called Blind
Justice with Ron Eldard as an investigator -- since he's
blind, I'm assuming he's private. The Webster Report is about
an NYC investigator -- don't know if he's private. And UPN is
working on Veronica Mars. I have no idea how hardboiled
and/or noir any of them are, but here's hoping.
Damn, I miss Harry O and Rockford (both of which should be
put out on DVD).
