Roger Gaffney
Roger Gaffney is a fictional police officer of the Baltimore Police Department on '' Homicide: Life on the Street''. He was played by Walt MacPherson. In Seasons 1 and 2 of the show, MacPherson made several cameo appearances as a uniformed police officer, the first in Season 1 when he finds an earring at a crime scene and offers it to Bayliss as possible evidence. The character wears a nametag that is not in focus enough to be readable, but seems to bear a name longer than "Gaffney." His good working relationship with the detectives and the unlikelihood of a policeman rising from uniformed patrol to captain rank in less than four years indicates that the uniformed policeman is not intended to be the same character as Gaffney. MacPherson is recast as homicide detective Roger Gaffney in "Nearer My God to Thee", the opener of the show's third season, as one of the night shift detectives working under Lt. Megan Russert. Introduced as a rude, bigoted, incompetent bully who is universa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
