From Killer to Quantico
Above: Keith Carradine in “No Way Out II: The Evilution of Frank.”
Keith Carradine played serial killer Frank on season two of Criminal Minds. He butchered people and took a souvenier, a rib. He then made windchimes from the bones to give to his girlfriend…girlfriend doesn’t seem to be the right word, but I don’t know what else to call Mary. The most interesting part of “No Way Out” parts 1 and 2 was that he had kidnapped Jane when she was twenty-two. Somehow, they had fallen in to some kind of love. Frank is unable to feel emotion, but he wants to love Jane. Carradine plays a great killer - he was very soft-spoken, which made it eerie.
Now Carradine will be playing Frank’s nemesis, an FBI agent on Showtime’s Dexter. He’s an agent assigned to Miami after bodies are found in a harbor.
Here’s an excerpt from an interview Carradine gave to TV Guide:
TV Guide: You play Agent Lundy, who is investigating the Bay Harbor Butcher. Tell us about him.
Carradine: I come in with this reputation as a star in the serial-profiling world. It makes Dexter sit up and take notice. He realizes he really has to watch himself now.TV Guide: What do you like about him?
Carradine: He’s not cocky, he’s just very confident. And what was fun about playing him is that he looks at everyone with a question mark.TV Guide: You played the sadistic Frank on Criminal Minds. What’s it like going from one end of the spectrum to the other?
Carradine: The fun about these guys is that they’re both written as powerful intellects. My fun being the killer was daring [Mandy Patinkin’s Gideon] to figure out who I was and what I was up to. In the case of Lundy, it’s the opposite side of that game.
Now I want to watch Dexter - it’s protagonist is completely different than the usual good-guy cops. Sounds interesting. The cast is pictured below.
