Michael Ironside (Total Recall) is set for a key recurring role on TNT’s upcoming straight-to-series drama The Alienist.
Ironside will play J.P. Morgan, the famous American financier and banker who wielded great power in NYC at the turn of the century.
A co-production of Paramount Television and Turner’s Studio T, the psychological thriller drama is set in 1896, when a series of gruesome murders of boy prostitutes has gripped the city. Newly appointed top cop Roosevelt (Brian Geraghty) calls upon Dr. Laszlo Kreizler (Daniel Brühl), a criminal psychologist — aka alienist — and newspaper illustrator John Moore (Luke Evans) to conduct the investigation in secret. Joining them in the probe is Sara Howard (Dakota Fanning), a headstrong secretary at Police Headquarters. Robert Wisdom, Q’orianka Kilcher, Matt Lintz, Matthew Shear and Douglas Smith co-star.
