Mary McDonnell stars as Los Angeles Police Captain Sharon Raydor on TNT’s Major Crimes, a role that she created first on the long-running series, The Closer. What’s interesting is that when her character first appeared on that show back in 2009, she was portrayed as a villain. Cut to today, and she’s the hero. That’s quite a journey, because as McDonnell said, “One false move and [the audience] may have rejected the idea” of that transition.

The show has one of the best casts working on TV, including Tony Denison, G.W. Bailey, Michael Paul Chan, Raymond Cruz, Kearran Giovanni, Phillip P. Keene and Graham Patrick Martin. They’re a true ensemble and watching them on screen is a real treat.

I talked with McDonnell and Executive Producer James Duff recently about the show and the cast, that transition from villain to hero and how prepared McDonnell is when she comes to the set.

You guys have a terrific ensemble. A lot of actors on the show have been in the same roles for a while now, but there is nothings stale are tired in their performances. It’s really nice to watch you guys work.

James Duff: I think it’s largely because the actors that we have are capable of non-static performances. Their characters don’t need to be static. They all work for the justice system and they’re all seriously involved in the justice system but they are also in a constant state of change.

If you take Mary’s character, for example, she’s been playing this part for seven years. She went from being incontestably a villain to being the heroine and that is a big long journey for someone to go through in a TV series.

And the other actors are all still growing. Their characters are still growing and the actors are loving it. I think they love playing characters that don’t do the same thing every week.
