David Aceveda

David Segovia Aceveda, played by Benito Martinez, is a character on FX's television crime drama The Shield.

Originally, he was the captain of "the Barn", a fictional LAPD precinct in the also-fictional Farmington district of Los Angeles, California. However, in Season Three, he was elected to the Los Angeles City Council and effectively relinquished command in the first episode of Season 4. Though he is no longer captain, his responsibilities as the city council representative of the Farmington District often keep him in the forefront of the show. According to show creator Shawn Ryan's commentary on the Season 1 DVD, the Aceveda character is heavily influenced by current Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Famous quotes containing the word david:

    “In clear weather the laziest may look across the Bay as far as Plymouth at a glance, or over the Atlantic as far as human vision reaches, merely raising his eyelids; or if he is too lazy to look after all, he can hardly help hearing the ceaseless dash and roar of the breakers. The restless ocean may at any moment cast up a whale or a wrecked vessel at your feet. All the reporters in the world, the most rapid stenographers, could not report the news it brings.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
