Wiseguy's creators sought to gather a strong supporting cast to enhance the realism and emotional weight of the series. Jonathan Banks was cast as Frank McPike, Vinnie Terranova's tough but supportive FBI supervisor, a role that required a balance of authority, vulnerability, and moral complexity.

Back in 1990 I wrote a book titled The Unofficial Making of Wiseguy,' a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the first two seasons of the show that started binge television. I have been researching an updated version of the book and have collected a great many new interviews. Updates to come.
