Jeff Fahey starred as Deputy Marshal Winston MacBride, a witty and cocky lone-wolf federal lawman who always snared his man (or woman).
As a US Marshal in the employ of the Justice Department, it was his job to guard criminals and protect witnesses, but his speciality – due to his great insight into human nature – was tracking down fugitives.
Although MacBride was a married man with two little girls – Katie (Kristina Lewis) and Molly (Carly McKillip) – his job took him all across the country to locations ranging from Brooklyn to Wichita.
Veteran actor Robert Mitchum made a rare television appearance in one of the later episodes playing MacBride’s father – and temporary partner on a case. Other guest stars included Ryan Reynolds, Pam Grier, Brian Keith and Valley Girlstar Deborah Foreman.
Miami Vice star Don Johnson was one of the Executive Producers. Chief Inspector Robert Leschorn, a 20-year veteran of the US Marshals Service – was technical adviser for the series.
ABC decided not to continue the show after its first season and it quietly left the air in December.
