One and (Probably) Done for Close on 'The Shield'

(Friday, May 13 10:56 AM)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) The increasingly rocky tenure of Glenn Close's police captain on "The Shield" won't last a whole lot longer.

Close has decided against doing a second season of the FX series, in part because she doesn't want to be away from her family in New York for months at a time (the show films in Los Angeles). Creator Shawn Ryan, while disappointed not to have the multiple Oscar nominee back, sounds as though he's accepted it.

"We were hoping, early on, that Glenn might return because she digs the show and is enjoying it so much," he tells the Philadelphia Inquirer. "But we knew all along she had only agreed to do one complete season."



Her character, Capt. Monica Rawling, has increasingly found herself at adds with her predecessor, David Aceveda (Benito Martinez), now a city councilman. Aceveda, however, has continued to meddle in the affairs of his old precinct and has butted heads with Rawling over an asset-seizure program she's instituted.

"The Shield" wraps its fourth season Tuesday, June 14. Ryan won't say much about the finale or the circumstances of Close's departure, allowing only that " lot of people in the final episode will end up differently than they began."

He's also holding out hope that he can snag Close for a guest appearance in the future. "She might be in L.A. and want to do two or three days' work," he tells the paper. "Life works in funny ways."
