Actor Christian Slater on playing the medic who tracks down a killer neurosurgeon alongside Joshua Jackson in the new mini series, ‘Dr Death’
Whether as the young Franciscan novice Adso, playing Watson to Sean Connery’s Baskerville in The Name of the Rose (1986) or as strait-laced Riley to wildly grandstanding John Travolta in John Woo’s Broken Arrow 10 years later, Christian Slater always radiates positive energy in his roles. . And that energy is evident as the 51-year-old actor talks of his latest role in Dr Death over a video call for The Hindu Weekend. The mini-series — based on a podcast that focusses on medical malpractice — released globally last month. All set to have its India premiere this week, it tells the harrowing true story of a neurosurgeon, Christopher Duntsch (Joshua Jackson), who maimed and killed his patients. Slater plays Dr Kirby who, alongside Dr Henderson (Alec Baldwin), brings down Duntsch.More Related News
