 When Detective Brisco and Detective Green examine the victims  apartment, they come across a Playbill program and ticket for the  opera La Boheme. Briscoe is derisive, but Green tells him that "You  dont have to love opera to love La Boheme. Its a Broadway play,  bro." Detective Green is played by Jesse L. Martin (qv) who was an  original cast member of the Broadway play Rent, which is based on La  Boheme. (The play Rent was adapted into _Rent (2005)_ (qv).)
