Tawny Cypress as Andrea Login - Cypress, like fellow castmate Emayatzi Corinealdi, attended the William Esper Studio school of acting and it has served her very well. She straddles the personal/professional line as Trane's girlfriend and fellow CCF agent. (Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images)

Phyllis Yvonne Stickney as Marva - Stickney may have a flair for this tough mom thing! She plays Bird and Trane's mom in Gun Hill, but you may remember her playing Winston's mother in the film How Stella Got Her Groove Back. Stickney brings a sense of struggle and strength to her character that only motherly instincts can influence. (Photo: J. Vespa/WireImage)

Aisha Hinds as Arlene Carter - Having acted in shows like NYPD Blue, HawthoRNe and Boston Legal, Hinds is no stranger to crime, which makes her perfect as crime boss Arlene Carter, so much so that executive producer/director Reggie Rock Bythewood rewrote the originally male character for Hinds.

Hisham Tawfiq as Captain Sanford - Tawfiq got the acting bug after reciting the late poet laureate Maya Angelou's "I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings" in a high school english class. As Captain Sanford, Tawfiq calls on this experience and others to be the brave voice and commander of a counter-crime task force. (Photo: Dennis Van Tine/Future Image/WENN.com)
