On September 19, 2012, it was announced that HBO had ordered a pilot based on the British television series Criminal Justice. James Gandolfini was set to star, Richard Price would write the project, and Steven Zaillian would direct. On February 19, 2013, HBO passed on the project.
The Night Of received critical acclaim. On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 90 out of 100, indicating "universal acclaim" based on 40 reviews.
Motormouth witness Trevor is instantly recognizable for his role as Preston "Bodie" Broadus in four out of the five seasons of The Wire. Elsewhere on HBO, he also recurred throughout the first four seasons of the network's first original drama series Oz, and guest starred in episodes of both The Sopranos and Sex And The City.
Bill Camp. Aside from our three main actors, almost everyone you see on The Night Of will be someone you've encountered on HBO before. Case in point: Camp, who plays Detective Box, has appeared in both Boardwalk Empire and The Leftovers. (In an ironic twist, he'll also appear alongside co-star Ahmed in Jason Bourne this summer.)
Our incredibly unlucky suspect Naz may currently be most well known for his supporting role as plucky cameraman Rick in the acclaimed Jake Gyllenhaal film Nightcrawler. But soon he'll be known for so much more, after he appears in highly-anticipated franchise entries Jason Bourne and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Michael Kenneth Williams. Although his resumé is over 80 credits long, Williams will likely forever be best known as gay thug Omar Little on The Wire, one of the most complex and memorable TV characters created in the past couple of decades.
Paul Sparks. Sparks just earned his first Primetime Emmy nomination for his guest role on House Of Cards as novelist (and Claire's lover) Tom Yates, a man of few words. But before appearing on that Netflix show, his biggest role was as Boardwalk Empire bootlegger Mickey Doyle — a man of many, many, many words.
O f all the ladies who played the public defender on the 1984-1992 TV sitcom Night Court, the best-know was probably Markie Post as Christine Sullivan. She filled the role from the third season until the series’ end. Before Miss Sullivan, there was Billie Young, played by Ellen Foley, who was the female voice behind Meat Loaf’s “Paradise by ...
