The casting is interesting - I love it that Crews isn't your ordinary cop-type in looks or personal style. In fact, he isn't ordinary, period. But it's obvious, I think, that the creators of the show weren't thinking in terms of stereotypes when they conceived the show.
It's interesting also that Damian Lewis (according to Wikipedia) is British.
If he has played villains in the past, it adds a little meta-level verisimilitude to the idea that people would have thought him guilty of murder when he was actually innocent.
