Although the series contained a couple recognizable faces (Charlene Fernetz, Leam Blackwood, Carl Weathers, Bryan Genesse, Janne Mortil, Blu Mankuma, Ken Tremblett, and Marcus Chong), only one of the stars went on to enjoy greater success -- late addition Eric McCormack, who joined the show as police officer Eric Rothman after the death of one of the young cops on the force.
Although a nice, light-hearted police drama, "Street Justice" was fairly unnoticeable, and ground to a halt after only two years. Unfortunate, because it remains one of the best-made Canadian dramas in recent history, and certainly the most upbeat Canadian police show.
Since "Street Justice", some of it's cast members have faded into relative obscurity. Charlene Fernetz, Blu Mankuma, Janne Mortil and Bryan Genesse went on to star in a few low-budget movies, and Carl Weathers has had small roles in a number of films, most notably the role of Chubbs in Adam Sandler's "Happy Gilmore". Marcus Chong, son of Tommy Chong, went on to star in the recent sci-fi hit "The Matrix". The real success story of the series is Eric McCormack -- "Street Justice" was his road to bigger and better roles (most notably his role in the "Lonesome Dove" serieses and later in "Will & Grace").
The show still airs in reruns on Monday on Showtime at 8:00 PM EST.
