I'm going to start compiling images from each time a known background Detective appears throughout the series. I cannot guarantee I'll commit to this long term lol but any added data to the wiki is still more data so I'll take it.

I think I may have a lead on finding out the identity for the actor of Detective Hill. I've seen him alongside Soderquist in the USA series MONK and while I can't remember the exact episodes he appeared, perhaps he was credited in at least one of them. I'll have to start combing through the episodes looking for him and see if someone credited him lol

It's bizarre and maybe you have some insight into it but they have SOOOO MANY background characters in this series and they're rarely ever credited. That must suck as someone taking part in these shows, being on screen episode after episode especially multiple seasons never to be credited. I get it would make ending credits for a TV show or movie excruciatingly long but...I mean come on. If someone's always there they should get SOMETHING somewhere. I wonder if there's a list of these characters and even names to go with them (as well as the actors) in hands of the crew behind the show. Would make life easier lol but we gotta make do with what we have.

That aside I also want to ask another opinion on something. Considering we describe the brief appearances of other one episode minor characters, do you think it's alright that include a brief sentence explanation of what a background detective is doing during each scene they appear in per episode? Ultimately what they do isn't significant but I suppose for information sake...maybe it's worth including? I don't know, I did a few test edits across some of the detectives especially Soderquist. Let me know your thoughts and I may keep doing that.
