Edmund Exley

Edmund "Ex" Exley is one of the three main protagonists of L.A. Confidential. He is portrayed by Guy Pearce.
He is a sergeant of the Los Angeles Police Department who rises to the position of detective lieutenant, with the intent of living up to the reputation of his late father Preston Exley - a legendary LAPD detective who was alleged to have been killed by a mysterious criminal, whom Exley nicknamed "Rollo Tomasi" to give him a personality and dedicate himself to not making his father's previous mistake of letting criminals get away with their heinous activities. Exley's demeanor within the police department leads to a feud with fellow policeman Bud White, whom Exley considers a "Mindless Thug" after his partner Dick Stensland starts an incident between them. However, he becomes friends with Sergeant Jack Vincennes.
