Roger Murtaugh is a 23-year veteran police officer of the Los Angeles Police Department and one of the two main protagonists of Lethal Weapon.
He is portrayed by Damon Wayans Sr.
Personality
Murtaugh is known for taking his job as a police officer serious enough, like any other officer, but is really dedicated to it. As much as he takes the job serious enough, he also takes his health very serious, after having recently suffered a "minor" heart attack six months ago, after the birth of his newborn and after recently celebrating his 50th birthday, and he must avoid stress while maintaining a low level of stress in his life while being partnered up with Martin Riggs. He clearly can't stand Riggs at first, and thinks he is "very" dangerous and suicidal for now. Being a family man, also, he takes his relationship with his family serious, too.
Taking his health serious, he monitors his pulse and heart rate and stress levels with an Apple Fitbit watch he wears, thereby, being able to watch over his stress levels in being able to avoid as much stress as possible in the process, especially while maintaining it. As much he takes it serious enough, his wife Trish even counts on him to keep an eye on it as much as possible, which he promises that he would.
