Sadly though, his time has come to an end. So how much did you know about the character when you signed on? Did you know heâd be part of the escape and eventually killed off?
I did not. And of course, when youâre having so much fun, you want it to go on forever, so I was hoping â in the first draft, he got shot in the heart, then the second draft, they change it to the torso, which I thought meant maybe they have more plans for Friar Pete. And then in the third draft, he gets shot in the head. So, âWell, itâs been a nice ride.â I think once they started seeing the ludicrousness with which I was playing the part, they just kept writing more and more absurd things for me to do, which of course is what you want as an actor.

Catherine Zeta-Jones), but there was no way Martin was picking you over his fam. But Martin escaped with some distraction murderers that are going to be keeping Malcolm (Payne), Gil (
Lou Diamond Phillips), and the police racing against the clock. But for Malcolm, The Surgeon s escape impacts him on both a personal and professional level- and speaking of personal, viewers also have to wonder what the fallout will be from Jessica s (
But whatÂ
is fun is everything surrounding the case involving Simon Hoxley, whoâs there investigating a potential connection to Endicottâs murder. He throws a couple of pointed looks Malcolmâs way (the courier chain moves âdrugs, guns, and perhaps, a particularly gruesome dead body,â Hoxley says). Dani (Aurora Perrineau) and JT (Frank Harts) wonder if Malcolm needs his own moniker with Simon âThe Mind Sleuthâ Hoxley around. Some of their suggestions: âBrain Hacker,â âProfessor Profile,â and âCaptain Crimefighter.â
Malcolm tries to distract from his odd behavior by focusing on the caseâ¦and asking if a dead body is a victim. âThe dead man? Yes. Good catch,â Hoxley says.
