Jon Michael Hill Talks About His character Walking The Line With Sherlock and Watson Partnerships

ComicBook.com‘s Jim Viscardi recently caught up with the cast ofElementary at the New York Comic-Con. Jon Michael Hill, who portrays Detective Marcus Bell, gave the fans a preview of what they can expect from his character going forward.

When asked what the 31-year-old actor dished on what he was looking forward to most in exploring his character Hill said: “Well it’s great because he’s constantly coming up against the way Sherlock and Watson are operating, and they are continuing to toe the line between law and order and kind of going about their business in the way that they have to get past the red tape.”

Hill continued by saying, “And that’s always challenging to Detective Bell because he’s got the badge. He’s got to make sure everything is by the book. So they are doing a good job this season of keeping that conflict up.”

For fans of the books and the show, Sherlock undeniably operates in an unorthodox manner, and it has been the cause of several conflicts throughout the storyline.
