Moonlight
After The Shield, O'Loughlin earned a role as the series lead on the CBS series Moonlight. In this show, he played a private investigator/vampire named Mick St. John.

Speculation began to arise that Moonlight would be dropped; however, fan pressure helped the show get four additional episodes. After the show was canceled, there was a significant fan-based campaign to get a second-season renewal — but to no avail.
