Alex Portman

Alex Portman was a detective in the LAPD. A very large man, he likes junk food and causing trouble. When he met Sammo, it wasn't long before he picked a fight with him.

When Sammo's mission with the LAPD is extended into a police exchange program, Portman is sent to the Shanghai Police Department--much to his chagrin. Here, he typically files papers.

While unhappy in Shanghai at first, he eventually learns to make the best of it.

Portman is played by Mike Starr.
