Film crews were camped out near the Iwo Jima memorial in Rosslyn this morning for the taping of a new TV show starring Jimmy Smits.
The actor, who formerly portrayed a congressman (then a U.S. president) on The West Wing, is playing a Supreme Court justice who leaves the high court to start a law firm that fights constitutional injustices.
The show — possibly titled “Garza” or “Rough Justice” — is being produced by NBC Universal and Conaco, Conan O’Brien’s production company. Crews were filming the pilot episode today; no word yet on whether NBC will pick it up as a full-blown series.
County sources tell us filming took place on Marshall Drive, near the memorial, between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. today. County police assisted with traffic control.

The premise of this show does not work. He would appear to be too young to be an ex-justice. And being a Supreme Court Justice – where better to fight constitutional injustice…
And James Woods would have been a better pick. I really like Smits, but this part doesn’t seem to fit.
I know it’s just a typo, but it does sound like quite feat to have a single actor playing “a Supreme Court”…
Indeed it is. Typo fixed!
