LoginMartin Prendergast
Sgt. Martin Prendergast is the main protagonist of Falling Down (1993). He was played by Robert Duvall.
Unlike William Foster, who often takes his anger out on the frustrations of the modern society, Prendergast handles his own problems with empathy and maturity. Prendergast has had a similar life to Foster's, as his daughter died shortly after birth. This made his wife paranoid of losing her husband but Martin, although scarred and depressed as a result of the incident, moved on with his life nonetheless. An intelligent man with an affinity for deduction, Prendergast put all the pieces together involving Foster's violent rampage through Los Angeles, although he recieved little credit for it in the end. Foster is a quiet, unassuming and meek man who just wants to see justice done at the end of the day.
He never utters a single profanity until the end of the film, which shocks his boss.
