Aldis Hodge Shares His Unique Take on Alex Cross, Respectfully Differing from Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry’s Versions

Aldis Hodge interview Prime Video Cross Series 

Aldis Hodge takes on the iconic role of Alex Cross in a new Prime Video original series, based on James Patterson’s bestselling novels. Previously portrayed by Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry, Cross has been a staple of crime thrillers for years. However, Hodge tells CineMovie that his interpretation of Alex Cross breaks new ground, offering a fresh take on the character that differs not only from previous on-screen versions but also from the portrayal in Patterson’s novels.

Alex Cross is a detective and forensic psychologist, uniquely capable of digging into the psyches of killers and their victims, in order to identify—and ultimately capture—the murderers. Hodge stars in the series and also serves as a producer. CROSS also stars Isaiah Mustafa, Juanita Jennings, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, Jennifer Wigmore, Eloise Mumford, and Ryan Eggold.

 

On November 14, all eight episodes will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. From Paramount Television Studios and Skydance Television, CROSS is a complex, twisted, pulse-pounding thriller created by showrunner and executive producer Ben Watkins, based upon the characters from James Patterson’s best-selling Alex Cross book series. In advance of its first-season debut, the series was renewed for a second season at Prime Video’s inaugural Upfront presentation.
