Forest Whitaker blev förvånad när tittarna på FX-serien 'The Shield' tog ställning för den korrupta polisen Vic Mackey framför hans karaktär, löjtnant Jon Kavanaugh. Seriens skapare avsåg att Kavanaugh skulle vara en moralisk motpol för att avslöja Mackeys brott, men fansen vände sig mot honom. Denna reaktion belyste publikens tillgivenhet till antihjälten.

FX-dramat 'The Shield' innehöll en av televisionens mest moraliskt komplexa protagonister i Vic Mackey, spelad av Michael Chiklis. Seriens skapare Shawn Ryan introducerade Forest Whitaker som löjtnant Jon Kavanaugh, en intern utredare som skulle avslöja Mackeys omfattande kriminella aktiviteter. Ryan ville skapa ett moraliskt dilemma för tittarna och noterade: «Tja, det här kan bli ett riktigt moraliskt dilemma för publiken, för Kavanaugh har rätt i att Vic har gjort alla de här sakerna.»
