Richard Harmon (Final Destination: Bloodlines) is set as a series regular alongside Patrick Dempsey and Michael Imperioli in Fox’s Memory of a Killer, the new straight-to-series thriller drama from Warner Bros Television and Fox Entertainment.
Memory of a Killer, from writers Ed Whitmore and Tracey Malone, is inspired by the award-winning 2003 Belgian thriller De Zaak Alzheimer (La Memoire Du Tueur), and follows Angelo Ledda (Dempsey), a hitman who is leading a dangerous double life while hiding an even deadlier personal secret: He has developed early-onset Alzheimer’s.
Harmon will play Joe, a hitman on the rise working for Angelo (Dempsey) and Dutch (Imperioli) in their clandestine crime business. Joe gets stuck with the grunt work – gathering recon and sorting getaway plans – but that puts him in prime position to witness Angelo’s Alzheimer’s decline. Joe knows he could make or break Angelo, but he also knows that choice could cost him everything.
Eyed for a midseason launch on Fox, Memory of a Killer is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Fox Entertainment. Whitmore and Malone executive produce alongside Cathy Schulman of Welle Entertainment. Arthur Sarkissian and Martin Campbell are also executive producers, along with Peter Bouckaert of Eyeworks.
Harmon received critical praise for his performance in Final Destination: Bloodlines, which broke records as the highest-grossing film in the franchise. He also starred as John Murphy in the post-apocalyptic drama The 100, which ran for seven seasons. Other credits include a starring role in Netflix series Fakes and he had a major arc as Owen Mercer, the villain of the ninth and final season of The Flash. He most recently wrapped production on drama feature One Mile, opposite Ryan Phillippe. Harmon is repped by Pacific Artists Management, Authentic Talent and Literary Management and Jackoway Austen Tyerman et al.
