New drama 'Copper' follows Irish American detectives in 19th century NYC - VIDEO

New show follows rugged Irish immigrant cop as he patrols the notorious New York Five Points

“For me the irony of all this is that I have spent the last three years in Hollywood working with world famous acting coaches to get my American accent down, and my first breakout role is playing an Irishman in my own voice. You can’t make this stuff up and I’m grateful for it!” says Ryan.

“I’m also glad to be working with a cast and crew this accomplished. I would say that the biggest thrill for me is watching an untold part of the Irish story come to life on the screen like this.”

Copper premieres on BBC America on Sunday, August 19, at 10 p.m.

Here's the trailer for 'Copper':
