'The Shield's' Shawn Ryan ramps it up


August 07, 2008 In his first post-"Shield" project at the cable network that gave him his big break, Ryan has teamed with "Ocean's Eleven" writer Ted Griffin for a comedic private eye one-hour that has been fast-tracked by FX. Another Ryan collaboration, a cop drama with author James Ellroy, created strong interest from several networks before landing at A&E. Titled "The Lead Sheet," it chronicles the hunt for the infamous Hillside Strangler in 1970s Los Angeles. The idea for the FX project came from Griffin, a "Shield" fan who penned an episode of the gritty cop drama and also will write the new project.
