Has Jake found his new partner?
Variety is reporting that Michael Pena is in talks to play Jake's partner in End of Watch.Pena might be best known for his role in Crash, but has had a career that's spanned both comedy and drama. Pena has had some experience with law enforcement from his role as a detective on The Shield, a border patrol officer in Babel, a NYPD officer in Oliver Stone's World Trade Center, and even mall cop in Observe and Report.
Something many might not know, Maggie played his wife in WTC.
Pena would play LAPD officer Mikes Zavala, partner of officer Dan Taylor (Jake). End of Watch is the story of good friends and partners and who are driven to clean up the street of South Central and who put more than their own lives at risk.
Couple of things that might have been overlooked about End of Watch.
It has a very small budget ($ 5 million) and a short shooting schedule (5 weeks) which makes it sound like it will be a small picture but maybe not. Looking at it further - the movie is set to have a documentary style look about it. It's another creative avenue for Jake.
The small indie feel to the project does lead to speculating about Jake doing more than just act. Maybe like take on a possible producer credit?
