For Ed Ramsey, a.okay.a. Fanboy, who made his victims appear like serial killers, his destiny on the finish of Cross Season 1 (now streaming on Prime Video) due to the titular detective (the at all times nice Aldis Hodge) might have been worse than demise.
“Ed’s sense of the world is probably a bit skewed, as you may think,” Ryan Eggold (so deliciously chilling within the function) informed TV Insider when he stopped by. (Watch the complete video interview above.) “And he’s clearly very obsessive and compulsive amongst different issues and obsessive about element and getting issues proper and making issues excellent and meticulously curating folks’s picture to appear like the serial killer that he worships to pay tribute to his heroes, these gods in his thoughts, and all that. So yeah, I believe in his thoughts, he’s determined to be worshipped and remembered and part of this cannon of this pantheon of killers. So yeah, when Cross takes that away, I believe he snaps. I believe him not being in management is his worst nightmare.”
His final sufferer was Shannon (Eloise Mumford), who not solely had fairly the battle in her but additionally survived him—twice! (Cross caught Ed when he went after Shannon within the hospital after faking his demise.) Nevertheless it was that a part of her that attracted Ed much more.
“I believe the battle in Shannon actually turned him on in a approach, and I don’t simply imply in a sexual romantic approach. I imply, I believe that’s what ignites him as a result of he’s sort of like a feral animal in some methods, like a predator, and that’s the prey,” defined Eggold. “I believe that the battle in her type of units him on fireplace.”
The season was stuffed with some nice scenes between Alex Cross and Ed Ramsey, notably in Episode 5.
“That stuff was actually enjoyable to shoot, and we have been in his evil lair. It was like he had this huge mansion and he has this masks on of Ed Ramsey, this socialite, after which he’s down there with Shannon, and Cross is getting beneath his pores and skin and flustering him and he’s beginning to lose his composure,” Eggold recalled. “Aldis has talked about, too, Ramsey will get to push again towards Cross and sort of unnerve him. And Cross can also be a personality who’s virtually by no means rattled. So it was actually enjoyable and Aldis is only a nice scene accomplice. He’s a extremely good actor. He by no means hits a false observe. His toes are firmly planted within the floor.”
