The show also starred Lina Esco, Samuel Carman, Alona Tal, Polly Walker, Ken Howard, Jason Beghe, and Ned Vaughn.

Tropes for the series:
- As You Know: Said when the Vegas meet with the Samuels for a business meeting asking the Vegas to sell them a few acres of land.
- The Corpse Stops Here: Happens when Alex Vega is in the house of his hated enemy Joe Samuels, when several gunshots from outside kill Samuels. The cops arrive shortly afterwards. The twist: Alex did have every intention of killing Samuels himself; the other shooter beat him to it. The cops find the gun he was planning to use in his pocket. He points out that if they test it, they'll find that it hasn't been fired. The well-known feud between the two men, along with other evidence, leads to him being the prime suspect anyway, even to his own family.
