Detective Ronald "Ronnie" Gardocki

Ronnie Gardocki is one of four detectives on the Strike Team, the anti-gang unit run out of a converted church in Farmington. Steady and watchful where his partners are loud, he backs Vic Mackey without hesitation, works the streets with real skill, and keeps his own counsel about the team's dirtier arrangements.

David Rees Snell plays him as the team's quiet ballast, a man who does the job well and says little, which makes him easy to underestimate and fascinating to watch. The show uses his restraint as a slow-burning question: how much does he actually know, and what will he do with it.
