Mindhunter is inspired by real life serial killers.
BackstageOL’s Dave Morales sits with Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany and Anna Torv to talk about Netflix’s Mindhunter.
Mindhunter is a crime drama series created by Joe Penhall, based on the true crime book “Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit,” written by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker. In the interview, the actors each describe what it’s like to play their roles and what is most intriguing about a show based on serial killers.
Mindhunter synopsis:
Catching a criminal often requires the authorities to get inside the villain’s mind to figure out how he thinks. That’s the job of FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench. They attempt to understand and catch serial killers by studying their damaged psyches. Along the way, the agents pioneer the development of modern serial-killer profiling. The crime drama has a strong pedigree behind the camera, with Oscar-nominated director David Fincher and Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron among the show’s executive producers.
