Jennifer Beals cracks the 'Code'
Nunn on One TELEVISION
by Jerry Nunn
2011-02-02


Jennifer Beals has appeared in more than 50 films over the years. She is beginning a new television-related endeavor on Fox, where she returns to her roots in The Chicago Code.

Windy City Times: Hello, Jennifer. I didn't realize you grew up on the South Side of Chicago.

Jennifer Beals: I did. I also lived on the North Side—everywhere but the West Side.

WCT: You don't currently live in Illinois now, do you?

Jennifer Beals: No I split my time between L.A. and Vancouver. My new show is a mid-season replacement so we will see if it is picked up for another 22 episodes and I will be in Chicago more.

WCT: It was great watching the new show The Chicago Code and seeing all the sights.

Jennifer Beals: Well, Chicago is really a character in the show, hence the title change.

WCT: What was it originally called?

Jennifer Beals: Ride-Along, the ride with the cops on their beat kind of thing.

WCT: I like the name Chicago Code much better.

Jennifer Beals: I do, too. I think it is more evocative of what the show is about. You are dealing with the power within the city and the code for the different levels and areas of the city.

WCT: You play the first female police chief named Teresa.

Jennifer Beals: She is a superintendent, as its called in Chicago.

WCT: Are you similar in ways to this character?

Jennifer Beals: Oh gosh, no. I am not nearly as driven or organized. I have to talk out loud a lot in order to get myself out the door, to remember where things are and get them together. I would aspire in many ways to be more like her but no I am very different. For example, I don't know how to use a gun. [Both laugh.] Nor can I be seen backhanding people in the street for various reasons.

WCT: Did you have a little training for this show then?

Jennifer Beals: There was some because it was so foreign to me. There were ride-alongs with Detective Folino, who was our technical advisor. He was terrific. We had meetings with various administrators. We realized there was a physicality that I needed so I started boxing a bit and doing more aggressive sports such as swimming and running.

WCT: That must be how you stay looking so young!

Jennifer Beals: I don't understand that. I don't feel like I look young. That is not how I experience myself; if someone experiences me like that then God bless them!

WCT: You have the hottest sidekick, Antonio, on the first episode.

Jennifer Beals: Isn't he so cute? He is a lovely actor. His name is Manny Montana and he was really wonderful to work with. There was no end to the amount of teasing that went on around the set. We just had a really great time with each other. I have the old-lady taste and he tried to help me be a little more hip with my music taste.

WCT: I just watched you in the [Denzel Washington movie] Book of Eli the other day.

Jennifer Beals: Oh, that was a really great experience.

WCT: Was that filmed out in the desert somewhere?

Jennifer Beals: New Mexico. I love the Hughes brothers. I would do anything for them. They are so smart and very creative, incredibly supportive of the people around them. I loved the character.

WCT: It was an interesting part to play.

Jennifer Beals: Working with Gary Oldman was so much fun. He made me laugh every day. He is dedicated to what he does. He gets in there and doesn't give up until he gets it. Frankly, Jason Clarke, from the Code, is very similar in that way. He's like a dog with a bone, you know?

WCT: I can imagine.

Jennifer Beals: He doesn't drop it until he's got it.

WCT: I interviewed and met your L Word sister, Pam Grier, last year.

Jennifer Beals: Oh you did? It was so exciting that she did that book. I am really proud of her.

WCT: It was hard for her to bring some of that up.

Jennifer Beals: It must have been. She has had such an amazing life. We had dinner one night years ago with my brother. He is a writer and told her that she had to do a book. We encouraged her to get on it.

WCT: Speaking of books, Judy Shepard told me you donated proceeds from your book to her foundation.

Jennifer Beals: Yes, I did. I really love the Mathew Shepard Foundation and the work that they do. I think she is such an extraordinary woman, leader and mother. I had their banner put on my float for the Thanksgiving Day parade in Chicago.

WCT: I saw you speak at the Human Rights event years ago. Your dedication to LGBT rights has been amazing over the years. Why do you feel so connected to us?

Jennifer Beals: I think after playing Bette Porter on The L Word for six years I felt like an honorary member of the community. They are not just gay issues. They affect everybody because they affect the fabric of our community. I am in a position to be helpful.

WCT: Well, it means a lot to us on our side.

Jennifer Beals: It just seems like a no-brainer. I don't understand ["Don't Ask, Don't Tell"]. I do understand that people are indoctrinated and they have their point of view but hopefully slowly but surely we can help change the paradigm. That's what I hope for and it's happening little by little. It's not easy.

WCT: What is the difference between The L Word set and the Chicago Code set?

Jennifer Beals: On The L Word set we were very aware of what was going on in the news and various issues. There was a time when I was on the Chicago Code set and in the van with teamsters and other cast members. There was an amazing milestone that happened for gay marriage over the summer and I was cheering in the car. I announced to everyone and they looked at me like I was crazy, like what do I care kind of thing? I was trying to explain how it affects everyone and then thought, "I am in another world now." I have a whole other battle here. We are not in Kansas anymore!

WCT: Definitely not in Dorothy's world anymore. [Both laugh.]

Jennifer Beals: No we are not. That was funny.

WCT: Did you ever think the movie Flashdance would have such a fan base so many years later?

Jennifer Beals: I don't think of my career in that way. I try to do one project at a time. I try to focus on the thing before me and not make it into a grand plan.

WCT: My friend wanted me to mention that he loved the short-lived television series 2000 Malibu Road [with Drew Barrymore].

Jennifer Beals: That's hilarious, thank you. You know what is fascinating? The guy that filmed the credits for 2000 Malibu Road was the director for the third episode of Chicago Code: Guy Ferland. It is a fantastic episode and actually my favorite. It is the payoff so see it.

WCT: I will. So you have different directors throughout the season?

Jennifer Beals: Yes and they each bring their own style. Guy has a very strong visual sense and a great script. It's a really interesting show because you are dealing with power and corruption, not just in the street, but in the halls of politics. You are making the connection between the two. That is something that's compelling. It's not just for the people Chicago, but I think Chicago does it best.

The Chicago Code rides into your televisions on Fox Monday, Feb. 7.

THE CHICAGO CODE 1.01 “Pilot” Advance Review

Air Date: Monday February 7, 2011 | Grade: A+




One of the rising stars among Hollywood executive producers over the past decade is Shawn Ryan. If you haven’t heard of him, you’ve probably heard of one of his shows: The Shield, The Unit, Lie to Me, and most recently, Terriers. I had the privilege of watching three episodes from his latest show for FOX, The Chicago Code, which will debut February 7th at 9/8c, and I can tell you this is another Shawn Ryan show you are going to want to tune in to!

One of the things Ryan has been praised for in the past is his rich characters and strong casting and The Chicago Code shines in both these areas. Probably the most magnetic character is politician Alderman Ronin Gibbons, played by British actor, Delroy Lindo. Lindo, a Tony-nominated Broadway actor, brings a gravitas to the small screen that is compelling and makes you feel like he is a worthy adversary. For me, the casting of the antagonist is just as important as the protagonist, because if the antagonist is too weak or too strong, it’s not worth my time to invest in it. Gibbons is a charming but powerful man who excels at talking out of both sides of his mouth and one is never sure what his motivation is in a given situation. His presence makes this not just your average cops versus corruption show.

Of course, the protagonists need to be well-cast too. The two leads are played by Jennifer Beals and Jason Clarke. I think the show does itself a huge favor in casting Beals in the role of Superintendent Teresa Colvin. As a Chicago native, her accent is genuine and she comes across as someone who’s familiar with the local lingo. She is a very strong presence on-screen, but is just vulnerable enough that it’s not overbearing. Ryan has done well writing strong female characters in the past and Colvin is yet another audiences can relate to and root for even when she messes up.

On the flip-side, Clarke brings his ruggedly handsome Aussie self fully into the role of Jarek Wysocki. It’s easily apparent why Wysocki is a legend on the police force, but I like that at the end of the day he sees himself as just another copper out there doing the best he can. His personal loss is part of who he is, but revenge doesn’t consume him, and he relates well with the people of the city. The chemistry between the two leads is very dynamic and engaging for the viewers, though I get more of a deep friendship vibe than a romantic one.

Supporting the two leads are the fringe characters: Caleb Evers (Matt Lauria), Isaac Joiner (Todd Williams), Liam Hennessey (Billy Lush), and Jarek’s niece, Vonda Wysocki (Devin Kelley). These could easily slip into the token roles usually assigned to the supporting cast in a cop drama show, but they aren’t. Each of them has a history that helps define them, and personality traits that go beyond the generic to make them fully-developed characters. They are also well-cast. There’s one interrogation scene that showcases how well Clarke and Lauria play off of one another, and what strong actors they are in their own right.

Aside from the strong casting, writing, and acting, there’s another character that makes me want to see more of this show: the city of Chicago. The show is shot entirely on location in Chicago and its surrounding environs and the director makes full use of it. I love that the actors are driving in real cars – as opposed to ones with blue-screen windows – on real Chicago streets, and the long shots don’t have fake-looking background plates where palm trees had to be scrubbed out. The cinematography is amazing whether you’re following a high-speed chase or watching the characters meet in the middle of the night by a familiar landmark. Scenes are shot on, over, and under the El train without being too obnoxious about pointing it out in the dialogue and the sweeping cityscape shots make me anxious to see them in high-def. Shawn Ryan is from Illinois and I think it’s wonderful that he’s giving back to the city in this way.

Overall, I love what I’ve seen of The Chicago Code. It has smart writing, strong acting, plots that glue you to your seat for the full hour, and makes the best use of voice-overs I’ve seen in a long time. The intrigue is sometimes three and four layers deep and that the story is a serialized one, but not so complicated that you can’t keep track of things from week to week. The fact that it’s more of a detective show versus a forensics show is also appealing, because there are enough great (and not-so-great) forensic shows out there already. I really hope viewers give this one a shot because even beyond the pilot, this is an impressive story I’m now anxious to see unfold. The Chicago Code is on Mondays at 9/8c.

Jennifer Beals returns to 312 in Fox’s new series.
By Novid Parsi

Photo: Kharen Hill/FOX; Photo Illustration: Jamie DiVecchio Ramsay

Like her character on Fox’s new series, The Chicago Code, Jennifer Beals is a native Chicagoan. Also like Teresa Colvin, Beals is the daughter of a white mom and a black dad. And as with Teresa, the actor’s father owned a store (“I didn’t tell the writers that,” she says). Perhaps most like her policewoman role, Beals, speaking by phone, exudes an aura that suggests she calls (and fires) the shots. The alum of Yale, Flashdance and The L Word plays Chicago’s first female police chief, out to right the city’s wrongs, in the drama from The Shield’s Shawn Ryan, premiering Monday 7.

As research for this role, you went on ride-alongs with Chicago police. What did you learn?
I was in a car with a detective, and we were the first ones on a scene where a man had been shot and was bleeding towards unconsciousness on someone’s front porch. I was able to see how they set up a crime scene, and we were able to follow the trail of blood for almost two blocks.

I imagine that was the first time you saw someone shot and bleeding?
No, it was not the first time I’ve seen someone shot [Laughs], unfortunately.

When was the first time?
In my neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, and then I spent some time in Haiti in 1989 photographing the elections where you would see all kinds of heinous things. But it was the first time that I became aware of how people are so uncooperative with the police, that there’s a group of 30 people there and at least five of them know who shot this man. It’s a gang-related incident, and none of them will come forward, and so the cycle just keeps happening.

Could you tell me more about that time when you were a kid?
Um, not really, because it involves people who may not want to [Laughs] have me tell that story. It was a pretty decent neighborhood [at 82nd Street and Indiana Avenue], but there were things that happened.

Being the only daughter in a family of three kids—does that influence your approach to Teresa as a woman in a male-heavy landscape?
Oh, I’m very comfortable among men, and in college most of my friends were men. Working on The L Word was a transition, and it was exciting to be surrounded by women, it was exciting to learn a different way of processing. [The Chicago Code] is a very testosterone set.

You suggested to The L Word’s creator that she make your character biracial. Did you also suggest that Teresa be biracial?
We talked about it, I didn’t suggest. I said it would be interesting in terms of racial politics, an interesting way to approach it in the 21st century, but I said please just let me know either way what you’re gonna do so I know what I am, who I am.

What difference does that make for you when playing this character?
You’re aware of different points of view. It affords you a certain empathy that you may not have if you don’t inhabit both sides.

What was that like for you growing up, to have both black and white families in Chicago?
Going to the Francis W. Parker School, it was kind of irrelevant. Class was more of an issue than race. There’s a code, even among kids who are all entitled, of who has the most recent pair of Nikes or who has the pink Lacoste shirt.

Where were you in relation to that economic divide?
We didn’t have any money, but I did have quite a few friends who did, and I ended up getting their hand-me-downs which weren’t hand-me-downs at all because they had tags still on them. I wasn’t raised with the idea that having money was important. It was much more important what was inside your brain; that will take you a lot farther than a really nice pair of Top-Siders.

I was struck by how overt The Chicago Code is about its premise of corruption in Chicago. What do you make of that?
What did you make of it? You live in Chicago.

It’s something people say about the city all the time, but it’s noteworthy that this new TV series is saying it so directly, so unapologetically.
I just think it makes for good drama, and everyday you can look in a Chicago newspaper and find a story. It’s not stretching the truth.

Any story come to mind?
Oh, at a certain point the story becomes the same story over and over again. That’s part of the code, but for every corrupter, you also have a reformer.

The show’s premiering the night after the Super Bowl. Were you raised a Bears fan?
Oh my God, you have no idea. In the cold dark years when nothing was going on, we went to Green Bay for the games, freezing to death, only surviving by virtue of my mother’s most excellent chili we would clutch like hot potatoes amongst the young Irish.

The Chicago Code premieres on Fox Monday 7 at 8pm.

Interview with the cast

Jennifer Beals Tackles Recycling and a New Show on Fox

On Fox's new show The Chicago Code, premiering February 7, Jennifer Beals plays the no-nonsense Police Superintendent of Chicago, fighting corruption and City Hall.

In real life Beals, known for iconic performances in Flashdance and The L Word, is also fighting City Hall in Chicago. "Chicago doesn't recycle," she says emphatically. "At the Art Institute of Chicago -- one of my favorite museums -- they won't let you bring in plastic bottles and they don't have any recycling containers. You just have to throw them away. How can that be?" Beals, a native of Chicago, is talking to the Illinois Governor's office to see what can be done. "The notion of throwing out a plastic bottle is so awful to me," she confesses. "There is a real correlation between art and architecture and recycling. But my friends are cynical, saying, 'Good luck with that recycling thing.'" She has thought it through, though, and talks about ways to make recycling financially feasible for all.

Jennifer Beal's character on The Chicago Code is similarly strategic. Superintendent Teresa Colvin is smart, focused and dedicated to rooting out the mob bosses who run the city. "Hopefulness based in reality is something that Teresa nourishes," says Beals thoughtfully. Both the actress and the character reflect the city in which they grew up and which they both appear to love. Beal reflects, "Chicago is two opposites -- a brazen earthbound confident persona of a city, not dependent on either coast. But it's also very sophisticated and connected to the rest of the world. And people have a great deal of access to their political system." The show is shot in Chicago, a place Beals knows well having grown up on both the South Side and North Side, or "Cubs and Socks" as she puts it.

Portraying a woman leading the Chicago police force required a great deal of research on Jennifer's part: "I tried to imagine what it would be like to be superintendent here. I asked male officers what it would take for them to accept a woman superintendent. They said it was important for me to have come up in the system and to truly understand it." And, she adds, "It was a balancing act every day. Teresa leads with a more masculine leadership approach. She's not as inclusive as she could be, not as nurturing. She goes in with guns drawn. I had to figure out how she could stay close to her team without seeming weak or sexually inappropriate."

The show is complex, character-driven and smart. And Beals' character has some fascinating interactions with her former beat partner played by actor Jason Clarke. "It's interesting to see how she negotiates power," comments Beals. "She and her ex-partner clearly respect each other and will tell each other the truth even if it hurts. They also clearly love each other but you're not sure how."

Because Chicago's backroom politics are part of the action, the city doesn't come off in the best light. But Jennifer Beals says that's fine with her, "Any Chicago native who thinks Chicago is cast in a golden light has lived under a rock." And yet she clearly loves the city and was excited to spend time in her hometown while filming the first 13 episodes, spending time with her mother and childhood friends. The show is written and executive-produced by The Shield's Shawn Ryan, who grew up in Rockford, IL.

Beals laughs when asked if her fiercely loyal fans from Showtime's The L Word will flock to see her on a cop show. "I don't know, but I think they'll like the uniform," she says. Now that the first episodes of the show are completed, Beals in busy reading scripts, swimming, caring for her daughter and learning to play the piano. She is also, she says, researching recycling.
