Whitaker will play Cooper, the squad leader. Described as dynamic, mysterious, charming and a father figure to the rest of the team, he is a former star profiler in the Behavioral Unit who has been off the radar for the past eight years.

I'm having a hard time picturing this. It seems like they weren't sure what they wanted in the character and threw everything in for good measure.

I'm not that interested at this point. Part of me is thinking this is going
to be a huge clusterfuck.
I find myself not interested in NCIS: LA and it looked decent when it first came out. Now it's fallen into the "meh, there's absolutely nothing else on. I'll take a peek" category of series for me.
