McLaughlin will play Michael, who was raised upper-middle class in the Atlanta suburbs and served overseas in the Army until an injury sent him home, where he鈥檚 now a Detective with the APD. He has the vibe of a man who grew up watching tough-guy, anti-hero cops and now is excited to be one himself. Michael has a wife and kid at home, but you鈥檇 never know it by talking to him.
Richardson portrays Faith, Will鈥檚 partner. Faith was born into a law-enforcement family, is armed with wicked wit and always considered herself one of the boys, then got pregnant at 14. But now she鈥檚 pulled her life together to become a Detective. Faith鈥檚 new assignment with Will is going to be her biggest challenge yet, but she鈥檚 up for it, and she knows it could be a shortcut to becoming one of the top agents at the GBI.
