The Big Picture Woody Harrelson's first name was so spot on as the naive kid from a small town that they didn't even change it when he took over the bar beside Sam Malone as Woody Boyd in Cheers. The wide-eyed actor's aw-shucks innocence carried him into roles on the big screen in the early '90s, including White Men Can't Jump and Indecent Proposal, where he played a regular guy who seemed out of his depth.
Set in 1999 Los Angeles, veteran police officer Dave Brown, the last of the renegade cops, works to take care of his family, and struggles for his own survival. Woody Harrelson's Performance Alongside a Stellar Cast Propels 'Rampart' Close The hateful nature that Sergeant Dave Brown takes to the streets of L.A. is a result of his failing relationships as a father and husband at home. Dave's marriage is failing, and his relationship with his two daughters is also precarious, as he brings his work home with him and doesn't spend enough time with them. Brie Larson is his rebellious teen daughter, Helen.
A Viral Recording Sends Dave Brown Into a Downward Spiral in 'Rampart' Sergeant Brown is involved in a car accident at an intersection.

Someone captures the events on their phone, and the sequence goes viral, stoking the already burning flame of tension between the police and residents of South Los Angeles.
