Did you ever wonder what would happen if The Shield's Capt. David Aceveda and Officer Danny Sofer were married? Well, viewers will get to see the actors behind those characters as a longtime couple — as well as some other Shield alums together again — on Lie to Me.
Cast members of The Shield set to reunite on Lie to Me
"It's just a fun alternate universe with all these people you're accustomed to seeing in a certain environment," Shield creator and Lie to Me executive producer Shawn Ryan tells TVGuide.com of the stunt episode (Monday at 9/8c on Fox). "It was different, but I think everyone was just really happy to see one another again. I think it meant more on a personal level even than a professional level. We had a very tight-knit group on that show, so to be able to reunite ... was very nice."

This week's episode of Saving Grace, "Are You An Indian Princess?", is full of a lot of flavors. The storyline involves the murder of a female and kidnapping of her son. The kid was amazing. One of the suspects is a 22-year-old Brad Pitt look-alike (played by Ryan Carnes). He did a wonderful job. He told me he was on Desperate Housewives for two years as a kid's boyfriend. We have a number of mutual friends from that show. We're also both friends with Michael Shurtleff, who was my first acting teacher out here. He passed away last year and I directed and starred in a short movie he wrote.Gwyneth Horder-Payton directed this episode. She also directed for The Shield. She was great. Stephen T. Kay stopped by the Valley when we were shooting at a hospital. He knows a bunch of us from The Shield, and it was cool to see him.The scripts keep getting darker, and there's a lot of tension as the characters unravel. These are crazy times! It's so exciting! Peace.
