Crime Story Set the Stage for the Last 3 Decades of Prestige Crime Dramas

Fresh off Miami Vice, Michael Mann used his newfound clout to produce a series that would revolutionize the cops-and-criminals genre.

Mann executive-produced Crime Story, but the concept came from a spec script by Gustave Reininger, a former Wall Street investment banker, and Chuck Adamson, a Chicago police officer who’d worked as a technical consultant on Mann’s 1981 film Thief. (Adamson’s experiences pursuing a thief named “McCauley” would later inspire Heat.) Thief had introduced Mann not only to Adamson but also to Dennis Farina, another Chicago police officer and Adamson’s former partner. He was also a technical consultant on the film and had a small role in it, his first acting gig. Farina continued on the force after Thief, with night work as a bit player in TV movies and the Chuck Norris vehicle Code of Silence, but he hung up his real-life uniform for good when Mann came calling again, offering the leading role of Mike Torello.

Crime Story also featured the breakout performance of John Santucci as Pauli Taglia, Ray Luca’s go-to guy. A former jewelry thief and career criminal, Santucci had actually been one of Farina and Adamson’s busts. The extended safe-cracking sequence in Thief, recreated in the pilot episode of Crime Story, is based on a real robbery in which Santucci cut through a vault door with a thermal lance. He would continue to pick up acting jobs throughout the 1980s, including parts in Miami Vice and Mann’s later TV movie L.A. Takedown, until he was arrested in 1996 for breaking into the vending machines at a Hyatt in Chicago. (Crime Story also featured a cameo from William Hanhardt, a high-ranking Chicago police officer who splits the difference between cop and criminal; in 2001, Hanhardt became the highest-ranking official to plead guilty to running a nationwide jewelry-theft ring.)

This is actually insane. Two former Chicago cops and a former (not really lmao) thief whom they personally busted and now everybody's playing pretend together on network television! What the fuck!
