Michael Chiklis, The Shield
It's been 12 long months since Shane killed his buddy Lem with a grenade in The Shield's explosive season finale.

TVGuide.com: What inspired you to do a webisode?Shawn Ryan: It was actually a suggestion from the powers-that-be at FX. They were looking for an unconventional way to promote the show. We knew that there would be a long hiatus between Season 5 and 6, so this gave us a good opportuni
