This mystery thriller
gave Lance the chance to explore a character that wasn't completely black or
white.
"I played
a good guy, which is a rarity for me, but I played a good guy who wasn't flat
and had these wrinkles and hard edges. "

"Working with
Bruce, who's so bright, I felt my uneducated inadequacies, primitive, like I
had pointy nose-picker cowboy boots on, like he could smell my poverty."

8:
A new guy (Andy Garcia) arrives in small town to meet an old friend
and partner (Lance). Then a murder results in a hunt for a serial
killer. Lance plays Sergeant Freddy Ross, helping the investigation
of these murders of blind women. True to his taste for realism he
insists on not using an umbrella in the most horrendous rain and
getting very wet! He gives a lively performance of a family man
with rough edges. Cheeky, outspoken you're left not feeling quite
sure about him. Somehow he doesn't feel safe .. but then there are
moments when he's just a sweet father. You kind of expect him to
be the murderer. There's a memorable slow dance scene, where Freddy
gives his wife a lovely slow kiss ... dddeeeelicious!! There's lots
of his lovely smile and there's also scenes of Freddy on a boat
- Lance always looks at home on a boat.
