Also suiting up for the “CHIPS” cast is Isiah Whitlock Jr. as Ponch’s FBI boss, Peterson,
who runs the gamut from disgusted and ticked off to full-on apoplectic. But he still manages to
find laughs in anything that puts his least-favorite employee on the hot seat. Jane Kazcmarek is
Ponch’s supervisor Captain Lindel, a woman with a shockingly relaxed sense of protocol;
Richard T. Jones is officer Parish, the wrong man with whom to pick a fight; David Koechner is
Pat, a wrestling trainer who doesn’t appreciate Jon’s unconventional technique; and
actor/environmental activist Ed Begley Jr. takes an ironic turn in the unlikeliest role his fans
could imagine, for reasons that will be obvious the instant he speeds into frame … in a Ferrari.
