THE SHIELD STARS THREATENED BY GANG BOSSES

The cast and crew of gritty US police drama THE SHIELD were chased off a set in Los Angeles' gang district after failing to clear their filming plans with local street bosses.

MICHAEL CHIKLIS

Show star Michael Chiklis admits he was terrified when gunwielding gang leaders approached him and his castmates and urged them to halt filming.

The Fantastic Four star recalls, "We're in the seediest neighbourhoods... On one of the first days of the pilot we had 30 members of the gang show up, heavily armed. They were, 'Hey man, what are you doing here?'

"We're like, 'We're shooting... We have a permit.' They were like, 'No man, you have to pay.' So we looked at the retired cops who watch for us and they said, 'Pay the man.'"
