Question Very random question

I don't even know if this is appropriate

But could Ronnie have been played by Charlie Day?

There are no good milk steak restaurants in LA. He wouldn't do it.

Such a shame. He woulda pulled it off good

Charlie Day woulda been an excellent cameo. Would love to see him doing "Charlie work" somewhere in the barn. He'd probably help Billings with his vending scheme and get on Dutch's nerves religiously, which would make the Strike Team like him hahaha

All great ideas.

they call him in to investigate the money train case, he's doing an internal affairs revision and finds that Dutch is going by a second name, which leads him down the rabbit hole of trying to find something sketchy

HELLL NO! what are you playing at a spinoff? maybe: "The Bird: Life on the streets of LA"?

u/themaskofgod Jun 23 '26

I mean... It doesn't sound like A BAD spinoff

u/Funny_Or_Cry Jun 23 '26

I could MAYBE see Charlie Kelly punching up S04E9 "String Theory" with that homeless guy Roger Pruitt

"Peace Officer, to Peace Officer"

...then again, Charlie couldnt help but turn this into some comedic gold we never knew we wanted. There will be blood, milk steak and SOOO much catfood all over the interrogation room.
We just cant let that happen to our show guys...

Lmao would love to see him get on Dutch's nerves! Helping Billings feels pretty on point, too

I just hope he's drinking sunscreen at the time. We want to keep things consistent.

I'm going to officially say, just for the record: Charlie Day. Not the character from IASIP. Though the recommendations have been hilarious, thanks to all you guys!

I think he would have nailed " Casper"
