    Another interesting note: Captain Connelly, head of Homicide in LA Noire, appears to be a heavily fictionalised version of Jack Donahoe, the real Captain in charge of Robbery-Homicide at Central division in the 1940s.

    He's probably also a heavy influence on the other inspiration for Connelly, Dudley Smith from LA Confidential.

    Further random LAPD / noir trivia: Michael McGrady, who plays grizzled Homicide detective Finbarr "Rusty" Galloway in LA Noire, went on to play the real LA Police Chief who succeeded Two-Gun Davis, Clemence B Horrall, in Frank Darabont's underrated noir series, Mob City.
