Patrick Dempsey is a hitman running towards danger in the trailer for Fox‘s Memory of a Killer (above), ahead of the show’s January 26 premiere.
From writers Ed Whitmore and Tracey Malone and inspired by the book and 2003 award-winning Belgian film De Zaak Alzheimer, Memory of A Killer is a dramatic thriller that follows Angelo Doyle (Dempsey), leading a dangerous double life while hiding an even deadlier personal secret: He has developed early-onset Alzheimer’s.
Michael Imperioli stars opposite Dempsey in the role of Dutch, Angelo’s oldest friend and an accomplished chef whose restaurant is a front for criminal enterprise.
The series also stars Richard Harmon as Joe, a hitman on the rise working for Angelo; Odeya Rush as Maria, Angelo’s daughter; Daniel David Stewart as Jeff, Maria’s husband; Peter Gadiot as Dave, a local police detective who has no idea a world class hitman is living there right under his nose; and Gina Torres as Special Agent Linda Grant, who when investigating one of Angelo’s kills, puts them on a collision course that will see her come perilously close to unmasking Angelo’s many secrets and threatening everything he holds dear.
