Ten episodes into shooting 'The Chicago Code' (9PM ET Monday, Fox), Matt Lauria was still having a little trouble handcuffing bad guys."The cuffing is really hard," said Lauria on the show's Chicago set last November. "Every time I screw it up -- the shirt gets stuck in there or something."
But Lauria ('Friday Night Lights') and Jason Clarke ('Brotherhood'), who play cop partners Caleb Evers and Jarek Wysocki in the Fox drama, received on-the-job training from the show's police advisor, Detective John Folino, said that Lauria's handcuffing skills had improved a lot.
"It was a challenge, but he worked really hard on it," said Folino, a 12-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department.
Lauria wasn't the only one to struggle with those bracelets, at least. It takes hundreds of arrests before slapping on the cuffs is second nature for real police officers, Folino said. And Lauria's eager character, a young detective partnered with the gruff but legendary Wysocki, still has a lot to learn.
"The advantage of working with Jarek Wysocki that he's the best in the business, and you learn from the best," Lauria said. "The disadvantage is there's a lot that's unexpected, and some things might put you at personal risk."
A lot of things put the characters at risk in 'The Chicago Code,' in particular the quest of the city's new police superintendent, Teresa Colvin (Jennifer Beals), to clean up Chicago's notoriously entrenched corruption.
