The Real Adventures of the Unreal Sam Tyler
Episode 1.2 - Oct. 16, 2008
10:01 p.m. on ABC

Lee Tergesen plays Assistant District Attorney Lee Crocker in the second episode of the U.S. version of this TV series imported from Britain. It seems like it could be a recurring role.

In the series, Jason O'Mara stars as Detective Sam Tyler. In the opening episode, Sam is hurtled back in time to 1973 from 2008 after being hit by a car while chasing down a criminal.

In this episode, Sam dives into a case involving a string of fatal robberies at check cashing stores. The squad winds up suspecting fellow police officers are involved. Tyler goes over the head of his lieutenant (Lt. Gene Hunt, played by Harvey Keitel) to talk to ADA Crocker about the case. This makes him unpopular with his colleagues and Lt. Hunt, of course. But it gets the job done.

The series also features Gretchen Mol, a fellow alum of Lee's from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. IMDb also lists "Oz" co-star Dean Winters as playing a character named Vic Tyler (the lead's brother?) for a couple of episodes.
