US Edition‘Bosch’ and ‘Y&R’ Actor Jerry O’Donnell Training to Be Real Life Law Enforcement Officer
Actor Jerry O'Donnell, 65, draws on military and screen law enforcement experience as he trains to become a certified officer with Asheville Police Department.
- Earlier this year, Jerry O'Donnell, 65-year-old actor and trainee, joined the Asheville Police Department in Asheville, North Carolina, relocating there with his wife Alison Crowley.
- With a background in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division, O'Donnell had prior combat training and long portrayed law-enforcement characters on NYPD Blue, JAG, and NCIS.
- Halfway through Basic Law Enforcement Training, O'Donnell and cadets face physical training with parking-garage runs, 15 air squats, and 50 push-ups.
- They are set to take their state test in mid-January, with graduation slated for January 30 and swearing-in expected in March, while O'Donnell told Asheville Watchdog it gives him deeper fulfillment as he nears retirement.
- With nearly 50 credits to his name, O'Donnell's pivot amounts to notable late-career reinvention, transitioning from roles in Bosch, Mad Men and The Young and the Restless to training with the Asheville Police Department.
