post by Woo, from www.dvdpaypal.com, June, 05, 2010 During Flashpoint's (Action/Adventure) third season, the members of the Strategic Response Unit are drawn closer together than ever, something series star Enrico Colantoni says was also true when the cameras weren't rolling. Check out photos of the Flashpoint cast "Every show takes a while to find its legs, and where CBS ended the last season, we were really finding our stride," Colantoni tells Dvdpaypal.com. "The camaraderie of the unit — and of us as actors and crew members — was really clicking, so what you're going to see now is much more intense." Indeed, in Friday's episode, team leader Ed Lane (Hugh Dillon), Sgt. Gregory Parker (Flashpoint) and the rest of the SRU are tasked with finding and dismantling a number of bombs set in place all over the city by an eco-terrorist. Ultimately, a member of the team makes a huge sacrifice for his colleagues and the lives of many others. "For the first time, the action involves us directly," Colantoni says. "There's a real tragedy on the team. Usually, we're out dealing with other people, and just trying to handle a bad situation, but this is much more emotional." Summer TV: Get the scoop on all the new and returning shows That interaction with real-life law enforcers gives Colantoni pride, he says, adding that he took this job partly to honor his brother, who was a 30-year veteran of the Toronto police force. Colantoni says he believes Flashpoint (Action/Adventure) is successful because the cops on the show are still the good guys. "We don't show the seedy underbelly — the cops are the heroes (Action/Adventure)," Colantoni says. "Surprisingly, there's not a lot of that on American Television Shows. We still have the guns and the action of a procedural Drama (dvd), but we're unique in that way."
