Lori Loughlin’s new role in Prime Video’s “On Call” is so unlike anything else she’s done before, she didn’t even recognize herself on screen at first as a tough cop who’s light years away from her characters in “Full House” and “When Calls the Heart.”

Loughlin plays police lieutenant Bishop, who’s tough on herself and the officers under her command, including Troian Bellisario’s veteran cop and Brandon Larracuente’s rookie character.

In a recent interview with TheWrap, she and co-star Eriq La Salle — who also directed half the episodes — raved about the Dick Wolf-produced show and how the use of footage from dash cams and bodycams sets the series apart from other police dramas.
