Kevin Bacon Joins 'City on a Hill' Cast at Winter TCA Tour 2019
Kevin Bacon strikes a pose with his City on a Hill co-stars at the 2019 Winter TCA Tour!
The 60-year-old The Following actor discussed his crime thriller series during the Showtime portion of the event held on Thursday (January 31) in Pasadena, Calif.
He was joined by his castmates Jonathan Tucker, Amanda Clayton, Mark O’Brien, Aldis Hodge, and Lauren E. Banks, as well as Sarah Shahi.
“The thing I loved immediately from reading the pilot was Jackie’s voice, which was something I heard,” Kevin said about his character during the panel (via Deadline). “This world of ‘90s cops and robbers had a gritty vibe to me and was reminiscent of movies I loved in the ‘70s from [Martin] Scorsese and Sidney Lumet, and I felt there wasn’t much on TV in this pocket, there was nothing that felt like this.”
City on a Hill is set in Boston in the early ’90s when the city was rife with violent criminals emboldened by local law enforcement agencies, in which corruption and racism was the norm, until it all suddenly changed.
