Shepard stars as California Highway Patrol (CHP) officer Jon Baker alongside a CHIPS cast that also includes Michael Peña as Frank “Ponch” Poncherello and Shepard’s real life wife, Kristen Bell, as Baker’s wife.
In CHIPS, Jon Baker and Frank “Ponch” Poncherello have just joined the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in Los Angeles but for very different reasons.
All three recently sat down with CS in Los Angeles for a look at what it took to bring CHIPS to the big screen.
Poncherello is a cocky undercover Federal agent investigating a multi-million dollar heist that may be an inside job—inside the CHP.
