Known for his roles in hit series like\u00a0<em>This Is Us<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Tracker<\/em>, Hartley will take on a radically different character\u2014a morally conflicted detective caught in a downward spiral of corruption, guilt, and personal tragedy.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Fall Line<\/em>\u00a0is a six-part crime thriller set in modern-day Atlanta, Georgia. Hartley plays\u00a0<strong>Detective Jake Rowe<\/strong>, a decorated officer whose reputation is shattered after a botched raid leaves a civilian dead. In an effort to protect his team\u2014and himself\u2014Rowe fabricates evidence to cover up the truth. As internal affairs investigators begin circling and public outcry grows, Rowe is forced to confront the cracks in his moral compass while juggling pressures from his department, his family, and the media.<\/p>\n<p>HBO describes the series as a \u201craw character study wrapped in a procedural shell,\u201d a far cry from Hartley\u2019s recent roles as charming leads or stoic action heroes.

While\u00a0<em>Tracker<\/em>\u00a0showcased his physical prowess and lone-wolf charm,\u00a0<em>The Fall Line<\/em>\u00a0demands a more psychologically layered performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the darkest role I\u2019ve ever taken on,\u201d Hartley said in a recent interview with\u00a0<em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. \u201cJake Rowe is a guy who\u2019s done a lot of good, but he\u2019s also made decisions that haunt him.
