Alex Cross, bestselling author James Patterson’s most famous character, had previously been played on screen by Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry. But when it came time to cast a new version of the brilliant detective for Cross, Prime Video's series based on the character, creator Ben Watkins only had one man in mind: Aldis Hodge. And after the first season, which debuted at No. 1 on Nielsen's streaming ratings chart in November, it's hard to imagine anyone else in the role. Hodge's performance is the perfect combination of cerebral and physical, swaggering and sensitive, and tough and gentle that the role requires. Hodge makes it his own, which he did by not considering earlier incarnations of the character.
"I think every actor has to maintain independent individuality when they approach any character, right? That's the artist's process," Hodge tells Gold Derby. "So I just thought about the honest foundation of his desires,...

Prime Video’s crime thriller Cross is a dark and gritty series that delves into Washington D.C.’s criminal underbelly, led by the titular forensic psychologist and homicide D.C. Metro detective played by Aldis Hodge. But once you meet Hodge and Isaiah Mustafa, who plays Detective John Sampson, Cross’ partner in the series, you wouldn’t believe the pair ever shared a serious moment since meeting on the project.
Hodge and Mustafa were joined by director Nzingha Stewart at the Deadline Studio at Prime Experience, where they joked about everything from tequila, Mustafa’s former gig starring in Old Spice ads, and Hodge’s aging knees.
The photos in the gallery below highlight the strong connections made thanks to their work on the series created by Ben Watkins.
Check out the Cross trio’s conversation in the video, and scroll down for the photos.
“Whenever you do a pilot, the one thing that a director does not know until day one is, ‘What’s the chemistry going to be like?’ Sometimes it feels really cold and separate, but right away from the first scene, [Hodge and Mustafa] have that chemistry,” said Stewart, who directed the first two episodes of Cross and served as executive producer.
She continued, “Ben writes beautiful dialogue, but [Hodge and Mustafa] always add little pluses to it. I remember the scene where Aldis said, [Mustafa] smelled like Old Spice, and it was great. It made me laugh out loud. I ruined so many takes and had to go again because I laughed out loud at something they said.”
“Are we really going there, you guys?” asked Mustafa, pretending to use a stern voice while laughing.
“Yeah, we’re going there, bro,” joked Hodge, who also produced Cross.
Mustafa replied while pointing at Hodge, “I’m older than him in real life, but he treats me like a little brother.”

Hodge and Mustafa’s instant bond also helped make the many action scenes work flawlessly. They admit they declined to use stunt doubles; the work is heavily dependent on the trust forged between the two actors.
Hodge also highlighted his appreciation for the show having the perfect amount of fight scenes.
“The action scenes, everything is choreographed. The thing that I like about it is that it’s all tasteful, and it drives the narrative, tone, and style. Nothing feels egregious, it still keeps that sense of suspense and that sense of excitement because you don’t know exactly what they’re getting into, how they’re going to get out of it,” Hodge said.
He also spoke to the important role Stewart played in molding the series.
“There’s a tonal thing that happens, which I want to speak to on a few fronts. That relationship that [Cross and Sampson] have, Ben always intended that to be a big part of the heart of the show. With Nzingha, being the first director, it’s a bigger job for the overall show because you have to set the tone and basically the blueprint for what the show will look like in terms of our color palette. That’s Nzingha.
He added, “It’s those first two episodes that create the rules for how everything else flows. We got really lucky to work with her in that space and in that capacity.”...

When it came to adapting and reinventing novelist James Patterson’s beloved Alex Cross for television, Cross showrunner and executive producer Ben Watkins and star/producer Aldis Hodge agreed that the literary character’s already rich world little explored onscreen would be best enhanced by layering in a more complex, of-the-moment and occasionally fraught relationship with race and the criminal justice system, befitting a Black detective.
“I was actually approached about this project and my first instinct was to pass, because I knew it had been done as movies,” said Watkins, who created the Amazon Prime Video series in the wake of various films featuring Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry as Cross, during the show’s panel at the Deadline Contenders Television event. “And really, as much as I’m a crime junkie – growing up, I read a lot of books, detective novels, thrillers, but I hadn’t actually made it into the Cross series,...

Although Matthew Fox is a fan-favorite Lost cast member, the star once took on a less favorable role in Alex Cross (2012). As the third installment in the Alex Cross franchise, the Rob Cohen-directed movie performed so poorly that it significantly impacted the entire franchise.
Alex Cross saw Fox play a sadistic serial killer named Picasso, drawing the attention of psychologist Dr. Alex Cross, played by Tyler Perry. The film will stream for free on Tubi starting April 1.
The film was considered a reboot, with Perry taking over from previous Alex Cross actor Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. Unfortunately, the plans for the Alex Cross reboot were short-lived. The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Alex Cross has a mere 11% approval rating from critics, and out of over 25,000 audience reviews, only 47% are positive. The consensus was that,...

Cross is among the most well-known series by acclaimed author James Patterson. The story follows a detective whose wife is murdered and who is set on solving increasingly difficult crimes with the hopes of solving the one that haunts him.
Starring Aldis Hodge, the series has received acclaim and praise from fans, critics, and the author Patterson, who praised the show's writers for creating an original story. Aldis Hodge has been a clear success as it's a faithful adaption of the character, something which Patterson has always protected when Hollywood has come knocking - as it has previously, but with the ask that Alex Cross be changed from Black to white.

It's always nice to hear a story where someone tells Hollywood to go f*ck itself. Which is, quite literally, what James Patterson did when executives asked him to re-write his iconic Alex Cross character as a white man. And now Cross television star Aldis Hodge — who plays the titular character — is speaking out about what it means to have kept Alex Cross a Black man.
Speaking with BuzzFeed, Hodge explained that he was "shocked, impressed, and proud" when he heard the author of the wildly successful Alex Cross novels was asked by some Hollywood executives to sign a seven-figure deal — but only if he changed the character's race to white.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last month, Patterson explained the story as such:
"Here's an interesting thing about the Hollywood 'Cross' stuff. When I wrote the first Alex Cross book, I didn't have a lot of money and Hollywood came calling — knock,...

“Cross” star Aldis Hodge told Buzzfeed that he was “shocked” when it was recently revealed that author James Patterson turned down a seven-figure deal offer to turn his book character, police detective Alex Cross, into a white man when he was originally shopping the first book around. Hodge now plays the character in Prime Video’s series adaptation of Patterson’s book series.
“I was shocked, impressed and proud of that,” Hodge said of Patterson’s reveal. “For me to step into these shoes, any time I step into a position of power or representation, it feels like a privilege and a responsibility that I’m honored to even be tasked with. I just want to carry that the right way.”
Hodge also credited his “Cross” showrunner Ben Watkins for “celebrating all of the assets and facets of the Black community” on the show “in different ways that we haven’t really seen,...

“Cross” creator Ben Watkins said the writers room was unwavering in their mission to ensure the role of Shannon Witmer (Eloisde Mumford) wasn’t merely a “damsel in distress” trope often seen in Hollywood films and TV series, adding that she was written to be more than just Ed Ramsey’s (Ryan Eggold) latest victim.
“We really made a concerted effort to do something that a lot of shows don’t do,” Watkins, who also serves as the showrunner and executive producer of “Cross,” told TheWrap. “They choose a target, it’s a woman, and then that woman is just a victim. And for us, we had to choose somebody and make them a real character, and her name was Shannon. Even though she was under duress, she never gave up.

When Aldis Hodge says Cross, the Amazon Prime Video adaptation of James Patterson’s book series, came to him at the right time, the 38-year-old actor is not just talking about his on-screen portrayal of the famed detective.
Alex Cross, the Washington D.C. law enforcer dealing with grief, loss and social injustice, is a role Hodge says he could have landed in comfortably earlier in his career.

Warning: Spoilers for the ending of Cross season 1!Prime Video brings one of James Patterson's most iconic characters to life in Cross, which has seen huge success in its debut season. The streamer had such faith in Cross season 1, in fact, that it renewed (and filmed) season 2 before the show even premiered. The effusive word-of-mouth is in large part thanks to the work of showrunner Ben Watkins (of Burn Notice fame), as well as the nuanced performances by Aldis Hodge and his talented supporting cast.
One such talent is Samantha Walkes, who takes on the role of Alex's romantic partner, Elle Monteiro. While Elle is not a character from the Cross books, she occupies a similar space to Bree by helping him move forward in his life after the death of his wife, Maria. She nearly meets a similarly tragic fate after being held hostage alongside Alex's children in the finale,...

There’s a lot to love about the new Prime Video show Cross, which has surpassed 25 million viewers since its premiere. As Collider has reported, it was decided early on by showrunner Ben Watkins that, unlike previous Alex Cross adaptations, the series would focus on an original mystery as opposed to adapting one from James Patterson's books. However, there is one key element that the show kept from the books, and it's a good thing they did.

“Cross” star Ryan Eggold said people thought his decision to go blonde for his role as serial killer Ed Ramsey was rooted in an effort to channel veteran rapper Eminem.
“No, I was not going for Slim Shady,” Eggold told TheWrap after asking reporter Raquel Harris if she thought his look mirrored the iconic Detroit artist, who was once known for rocking a bleach blonde hair style during the early 2000s. “Lately people were like, ‘Were you doing an Eminem thing?’ I’m like, ‘What? No, he’s a killer. No.”
Eggold stars as Ed Ramsey the villain in the “Cross” Season 1. He’s member of Washington, D.C.’s upper echelon but comes from humble beginnings in the Midwest. He’s suave, laid back, charming but devious. And he loves playing cat and mouse with Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge), toying with him to see how skilled the detective is noted to be.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Cross season 1.Nancy remains a side character almost throughout Cross season 1's runtime until the show reveals the hidden truth about her identity and real motives. Created by Ben Watkins, Amazon's Cross season 1 is based on James Patterson's Alex Cross book series. Despite being a book adaptation, the show sets out to etch its identity by borrowing only a few major characters and story beats from the source material. However, when it comes to its villains, it introduces original ones who never appear in the James Patterson books.
While the main villain, Ed Ramsey, in Cross season 1, has nothing to do with the titular character's past but proves to be a clever serial killer, the secondary villain, Nancy, is far more intricately connected to the protagonist's history. Her identity and motives remain shrouded almost throughout the show's runtime as she works from behind...

Based on the fictional Washington, D.C. detective featured in 30 Alex Cross novels by James Patterson, the eight-part series has drawn plaudits for its towering performance by Aldis Hodge as the title character. The show's critical success and wide viewership led Amazon to renew the series for Season 2.
Of course, discussing Cross Season 2 without clarifying what transpires at the end of Season 1 is impossible. Core to Cross' investigative focus is identifying who murdered his wife, Maria. Meanwhile, the mysterious murder of a political activist occupies Cross' work duties, with the shocking confluence of events in the Season 1 finale setting up Season 2's storyline. Beyond naming Maria's murderer, here's...

Warning: Major spoilers for Cross season 1 below!The fourth episode of Cross features a scene of dental horror that is sure to give fans of a controversial Dustin Hoffman movie traumatic flashbacks. Prime Video's Cross cast Aldis Hodge as the title detective, who is chasing after a twisted serial killer dubbed "The Fanboy" (Ryan Eggold). What makes Cross interesting is that it takes the characters from the James Patterson bestselling Alex Cross novels - but doesn't actually adapt any of them (via TVLine). This means Eggold's villain is unique to the series, with Ed Ramsey/The Fanboy being almost on the same intellectual level as Alex Cross himself.
Many episodes follow Ramsey as he painstakingly transforms his latest kidnap victim Shannon (Eloise Mumford) into real-life killer Aileen Wuornos. This includes changing her hair color and skin complexion and even altering her teeth. The Fanboy believes this is a great artistic endeavor,...

Prime Video's Cross is the latest adaptation of the hit thriller novels, but just how different is the series from the original Morgan Freeman movies? Prime's Cross cast Aldis Hodge as the title character, who is seemingly doomed to chase down endlessly creative serial killers. While the James Patterson books also received a movie adaptation with 2012's Alex Cross (starring Tyler Perry), the Morgan Freeman movies are by far the most famous adaptations.
Freeman fronted both Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, which adapted the first two Patterson novels. An Alex Cross franchise felt like a natural move for Freeman after Se7en's success, but the reception to Along Came a Spider saw him move on from the character. It's over 20 years since Freeman last played the character and the Cross TV series is a total reinvention of the franchise for a new audience.

“Cross” star Isaiah Mustafa said Aldis Hodge completely improvised a nod to Mustafa’s longtime career with male grooming brand Old Spice, saying the line wasn’t in the script at all.
“That was never written — Aldis just pull that one out of nowhere,” Mustafa told TheWrap. “I had a comeback. I have to protect myself, my investments. So I had to come back, but it wasn’t aired. The fact that he even mentioned it is a testament to the great relationship that I had with the brand, that I still have. So it was a nice homage. And I was like, ‘Ok, I appreciate that.'”
Today, fans know Mustafa as Alex Cross’ right-hand man, John Sampson, in Prime Video’s hit series, “Cross.” But for several years, he appeared in commercials as the “Old Spice Guy.” His first commercial spot was in Old Spice’s “Smell Like a Man,...

[This story contains major spoilers from the season finale of Cross.]
When creator Ben Watkins first started formulating images of how Cross would look in the early stages of the development of the Prime Video series, he had an immediate sense of whose likeness would fit the titular role of Alex Cross.
“The more I started to define who that character would be in this day and age, the more I started to picture a certain actor and it was Aldis Hodge,” Watkins tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Aldis became the archetype.”
At the time, Watkins had no idea whether Hodge would be available, or even interested, in starring in his crime thriller based on James Patterson’s popular book series. In fact, Watkins was told that the actor, who had just finished working on Black Adam, was unavailable so he advised his casting department to use Hodge as their inspiration during auditions. When the script landed in Hodge’s agent’s hands,...

Prime Video’s Alex Cross brought James Patterson’s iconic detective to life, with Aldis Hodge stepping into the shoes of the brilliant and tormented investigator. Season 1 was packed with jaw-dropping twists, haunting villains, and plenty of mysteries that kept viewers guessing. Now, as we gear up for Season 2, let’s break down some of the biggest moments from the first season and what they might mean for what’s next.
What’s the Deal With Ramsey’s Creepy Mask?
One of the standout elements of Season 1 was Ed Ramsey, played by Ryan Eggold, and his unsettling mask. Every time Ramsey spoke to his online followers, he wore a bizarre mask of an ordinary-looking man—but it’s way creepier than it sounds.
Creator Ben Watkins explained that the mask was a nod to Ramsey’s dark inspiration: a real-life serial killer from Indiana who terrified people when Ramsey was a kid.

The first episode of Cross has already ruled out re-adapting one of the James Patterson books by repeating a cool Reacher trick. The Cross show cast Aldis Hodge in the title role, inheriting the character from Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry. Surprisingly, Prime Video's show isn't adapting any of the novels and instead picks elements from the source material mixed with an original storyline. Even showrunner Ben Watkins confessed to TVLine that this was a "risky" approach, considering how many fans the books have.
Regardless, Cross is currently rated "Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes with a 70% rating, with Hodge being singled out for praise. Another element receiving positive feedback is Ryan Eggold as serial killer Ed Ramsey/The Fanboy, who recreates famous killers using his victims as a "template" before killing them. This makes him a perfect villain for Cross, as he's a "fan" of Alex's past cases and even namechecks...

Warning! This article contains mentions of murder and many real-life serial killers.
Cross season 1 is based on James Patterson's fictional Alex Cross books, but it seems to draw some inspiration from real-world crimes. Created by Ben Watkins, Amazon's Cross does not shy away from drifting far from its source material's stories. Instead of staying true to nearly all story beats from the original novels, Cross season 1 only borrows character beats from the book while adopting a completely original narrative.
While this approach could have easily backfired for the series, it surprisingly works wonders and earned the show a "fresh" Rotten Tomatoes rating. Although some aspects of the story in Cross season 1 are too over the top, the show also tries to ground itself in more realism than its source by drawing subtle references to real-life crimes.
