Jessica Alba Headed Back To TV For An Exciting Role

Jessica Alba's Nancy McKenna is new to the Bad Boys franchise, and will play the partner to Gabrielle Union's Syd Burnett, who is not. McKenna is an Army veteran who enlisted fresh out of high school and spent a majority of her military service in the Afghanistan and Iraq war. McKenna wasn't allowed to serve in combat over there, so she joined the military police in an attempt to get closer to the action. When the story joins her, she's working as an LAPD detective and Syd's partner as and raising two pre-teen sons with her husband.
