When William Fichtner grew up he decided to become a cop. Most people would believe someone who starts that would actually like to do the job - not William. He went straight to acting when he was done and from that on he did movie-cops! Good ones, bad ones, alien ones, Fichtner did them all! William Fichtner is a totally underrated great actor. If I'd do a cop movie I certainly would hire him to do his part. Nah, that's not sarcasm, it's a fact! He is just best in that.
But don't you worry if you don't really can associate any movies with his name, he is more the "Hey look, it's that guy again!"-type. Surely everyone's seen Fichtner's face in some movie yet and that's what really counts. Maybe most people nowadays know him from "Prison break" (Which I personally never watched because I am just not interested in mainstream series productions) or "Invasion", maybe even "Strange days" but Fichtner has been in lotsa productions since '89 and actually is a well known face in the film industries. We'd surely also like to see him in some nice roles. What about ... I don't know ... action superhero rescueing the world? ... or whatever. Just nicer parts than creepy cops because actually Fichtner is told to be a pretty nice guy in real life. Who knows, maybe one day a mystery series is produced that features superheroes ... oh wait ... too late for that.
Hey, this is NOT badly meant sarcasm, I really love this actor! Go watch his movies! Hurry!

My personal Top 5 roles:
- Invasion (22 eps) - Sheriff Underlay (Sheriff but hey we call it - Cop)
- Strange days - Engelman (Cop)
- Ultraviolet - Garth (No Cop - sorry for that)
- Armageddon - Colonel William Sharp (Let's call it - Cop)
- Crash - Flanagan ( Don't remember but still I guess ... (insert fitting note))
Dear Mr. Fichtner,
we hope you might be able to take some sarcasm because still to confess I am your biggest fan alive. And I am also half German - see, we got some stuff in common. Nah really, we love your movies! Keep up the great work!
