N.Y.P.D. was an American crime series that ran for two seasons between 1967 - 69. It centered around three New York police detectives – Lieutenant Mike Haines (Jack Warden), Detective Jeff Ward (Robert Hooks), and Detective Johnny Corso (Frank Converse) – who fight a wide range of crimes and criminals. The show featured many real New York City locations, as well as episodes based on actual New York City police cases.
In the episode called 'Deadly Circle of Violence', which was broadcast as episode 5 in the second season, Al Pacino made his screen debut as he played a Student from the South who was being blamed for the bombing of a Black church. The episode also featured Pacino's at the time girlfriend Jilly Clayburgh.
Robert Hook, who played one of the lead detectives in the show joins the podcast to discuss the show, acting opposite newcomer Al Pacino and also their brief times hanging out together talking acting. Robert also talks about another member of the Hooks family who appears in the episode.
