Deputy Mayor LaSalle works the political margins in The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, handling City Hall pressure and media questions while Denzel Washington negotiates with hijackers over the radio. John Benjamin Hickey plays the role in Tony Scott's 2009 remake, and the film keeps most of its tension between Washington and John Travolta's villain, so Hickey stays in the background where city politics belong during a hostage crisis.

His watch has not been identified. LaSalle is the kind of character who exists to remind you that a hostage crisis has consequences beyond the people holding the guns — someone has to answer the phones at City Hall, and Hickey does that with the right mix of competence and anxiety.
