‘Cross’ Star Aldis Hodge On How The Series Highlights And Celebrates Black Culture In D.C.: “That’s What Makes The Show Special”
‘Cross’ star Aldis Hodge on exploring Black culture and issues in D.C. in his role as James Patterson's detective Alex Cross.
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. From systemic racism within the police force to single parenthood after the loss of his wife, Hodge’s portrayal of Alex Cross examines masculinity, vulnerability and prejudice through a character usually viewed primarily as stoic. From there Hodge went on to make historical thrillers Underground and TURN, entered blockbuster territory with The Invisible Man and Black Adam and tackled prestige drama in One Night in Miami… and Hidden Figures.
