Homicide: Life on the Street
Episode 7.22 “Forgive Us Our Trespasses”
Written by Tom Fontana
Directed by Alan Taylor
Aired 5/21/1999 on NBC
Homicide: Life on the Street was created as a show about “thinking cops” with actors who didn’t fit the typical mold for network TV. They were overweight, balding, and dressed like real cops. The landmark television series was highly influential and set the stage for captivating shows like The Wire and The Shield.

It can be argued that Benjamin Busch is a modern-day Renaissance man. Not only has he served two tours of duty as a U.S. Marine in Iraq, but he played Officer Anthony Colicchio on "The Wire" and appeared on "The West Wing" and "Homicide," among other programs. Now he can add "writer" to his ever-growing list of occupations.
Busch, inspired by a number of life-altering events, wrote "Dust to Dust," a beautiful meditation on war, loss and the larger questions of life and death, in which he chronicles his return from Iraq and the death of his parents.
He talked with The Huffington Post about the book and his thoughts on the profound connection between acting and the military.
You have such an interesting resume.
My impulses began very young, and although they seem very diverse I kind of see them intertwined. I was drawn to build and create art young.
