After concluding his five-season run as the compassionate Dr. Max Goodwin on NBC's hit medical drama New Amsterdam, Ryan Eggold has transitioned to a significantly darker role as Ed Ramsey, known as the "Fanboy Killer," in Prime Video's upcoming crime drama Cross.
Transition to a New Role
Ryan Eggold, widely recognized for his portrayal of a benevolent and dedicated doctor, has made a notable shift in his acting career by taking on a character far removed from his previous persona. His new role in Cross marks a departure into the realm of crime thrillers, based on the popular series of novels by James Patterson.
Key Details of His New Project:
- Show Title: Cross (Prime Video)
- Character Name: Ed Ramsey
- Character Description: The "Fanboy Killer"
- Genre: Crime drama, adaptation of James Patterson's novels
Interestingly, there was a point when Eggold almost didn't take on this challenging new role, a detail shared by the show's creator, Ben Watkins. This highlights the significant difference in character from his previous work and perhaps the deliberate choice to explore a new facet of his acting range. This move demonstrates his versatility and willingness to delve into complex and morally ambiguous characters after spending years embodying a heroic figure.
