Wired into 24

He has long since left the Baltimore Police Department, but it's good to know that Herc – AKA The Wire's knucklehead detective Thomas Hauk – is still, pardon our French, fucking up . Herc, or rather the actor who played him, Domenick Lombardozzi, returned to the small screen in the new series of 24 on Sky1 . His character, New York cop John Mazoni, proved every bit as ruthlessly efficient as Herc, wrongly blaming Jack Bauer for a double homicide and taking matters into his own hands, tying him to a chair and savagely beating him up. No, Herc, he's the good guy! Never mind. Blame it on Fuzzy Dunlop.
