“#Dylan McDermott Teases the ‘Lethal’ Side of Richard Wheatley<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

If you enjoyed watching Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni<\/a>) and crime boss Richard Wheatley (Dylan McDermott<\/a>) face off in the second episode of Law & Order: Organized Crime<\/em>, you\u2019re not alone. Richard did, too, according to McDermott.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe welcomes the challenge,\u201d the star tells TV Insider.<\/p>\n

While we have yet to see him get his hands dirty onscreen \u2014 he killed his father, Manfredi Sinatra (Chazz Palminteri), off-screen \u2014 that is going to start to change. \u201cHe\u2019s lethal and you will see some of that leak out\u201d in Episode 3, McDermott teases.<\/p>\n

The star previews what\u2019s next, discusses Richard\u2019s family and very complicated relationships, and more.<\/p>\n

What will we see from Richard this week?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dylan McDermott:<\/strong> The octopus is really who Richard is, so of course he has a pet octopus in his office. You\u2019ll see what he does this week, how he uses it to get what he wants. It\u2019s not just a pet, it\u2019s actually a device. That really explains Richard so well because he\u2019s so calculated. Everything is a move with this guy. Although it app<\/a>ears that everything is for show, he\u2019s using every bit of his life to gain what he wants.<\/p>\n

Richard and Stabler face off again. How does that dynamic change with each confrontation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I find it so humorous because a lot of times, I\u2019ll ad-lib a bunch of stuff and you never know what\u2019s gonna make it to the screen. Most of the time I do it to amuse myself and on this particular show, they\u2019re using a lot of my ad-libs, which is fun to see. I have some ad-libs with that scene with Stabler that cracked me up.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to see more and more of us as we inch towards the finale. It\u2019s going to get more and more heated. Richard enjoys the chase, the confrontation, being up against people because he knows he\u2019s going to win. He\u2019s the smartest guy in the room always. He\u2019s not afraid of cops, lawyers, judges, politicians, or anybody because he knows he\u2019s got a way around it.<\/p>\n

Something that stands out is Richard is a family man. We can tell how important family is to him from the beginning. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Richard loves his family. He would literally kill for his family and guess what? He did. We see that in the very first episode. His father went up against him, against his family. There were childhood issues with his father early on that broke Richard and made him become the man he is. He shamed him for his weight. That never sat right with Richard. Then he shamed him again with his family because they were Black. His father was a racist. And what did Richard do? He killed him. We see that this man is lethal, but at the same time, as you just brought up, he loves his family more than anything<\/em> in the world.<\/p>\n

\"Richie<\/p>\n

Virginia Sherwood\/NBC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

His relationships with his kids are each unique.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s always looking for someone who\u2019s as smart as him. Richie [Nick Creegan] is not that. He\u2019s got his looks, but he didn\u2019t get the brains. [Laughs<\/em>] That\u2019s a sore spot. We\u2019re going to see some of that in this episode with Richie because he\u2019s trying to groom Richie as much as he possibly can, but at the same time, he falls short each time.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s trying with all his kids, but don\u2019t forget, this is a criminal family. Although he\u2019s a great dad, someone would think, \u201cWait a minute, you\u2019re grooming them for crime? How could you be a great dad?\u201d But he\u2019s teaching them the business and whatever it takes to eventually take over when he goes.<\/p>\n

He has his daughter, Dana (Christina Karis), working at his company.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She\u2019s the smartest. That\u2019s why he likes her the most because he knows that intellectually she\u2019s right where she should be. He even says in this episode to Angela [Tamara Taylor<\/a>] that she\u2019s maybe even smarter than her.<\/p>\n

\"Dylan<\/p>\n

Heidi Gutman\/NBC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Richard and Angela\u2019s relationship is complicated, to say the least. It seems that they can\u2019t stay away from each other. What draws the exes to one another? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Richard lets very few people into his life and Angela is definitely one of them. Because he trusts her, because she\u2019s intellectually on his same level, he keeps going back to her. And I believe that there\u2019s also some kind of addiction going on between them. They may not love each other, but there\u2019s some kind of chemical thing between them that they can\u2019t let go of.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t go over well with his wife, Pilar (Shauna Harley), and it seems like Angela is more involved than she is with his family business. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Pilar really tolerates a lot of what Richard does. Richard\u2019s the boss and she has to put up with all his shenanigans and she knows that he takes care of her and she\u2019s got to tolerate Angela. I\u2019m sure it sucks for her. I\u2019m sure she doesn\u2019t want to be in that position. I\u2019m sure she\u2019s thinking, \u201cWhy is this woman always here? Why can\u2019t this be just me and you?\u201d I\u2019m sure that it gnaws on her. Richard does his best to try to calm her and make her feel better about it. It\u2019s a triangle that isn\u2019t really comfortable for anyone but Richard. Because he\u2019s a malignant narcissist, he doesn\u2019t really think that much about it.<\/p>\n

\"Stabler<\/p>\n

Virginia Sherwood\/NBC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There are photos of Stabler, Angela, Richard, and Pilar at some sort of event this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not pleasant between any of these people. There\u2019s always conflict, and usually, Richard\u2019s in the middle of it, which I think he wants to be. He likes the attention. He likes when people talk about him. He likes buildings named after him. He likes to pile up all the cash in the world. He wants everybody to be around him. That\u2019s his disease if you will. That\u2019s what\u2019s interesting about playing him.<\/p>\n

We saw that in the way you played the first scene with Stabler in Episode 2, an almost delight to have that confrontation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what it is: a delight. He welcomes it. He welcomes the challenge. He lives for it because here\u2019s a man who\u2019s not challenged much. Everybody kowtows to him. Everybody makes it better for Richard. They tolerate him. When someone does come along like Stabler to challenge him, he\u2019s thinking, \u201cWell, this is interesting. I\u2019ll figure out how I can squash him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Richard<\/p>\n

Virginia Sherwood\/NBC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Richard\u2019s name is important to him. He doesn\u2019t like being called Dick or Richie and took his ex-wife\u2019s last name.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He changed his name to distance himself from his father because he didn\u2019t want to be Sinatra [or] tied to the Italian mob: \u201cI\u2019m going to start my own business, my own crime syndicate. I\u2019ll learn how to do it above board so nobody\u2019s really watching, I\u2019ll make a lot of money in pharmaceuticals and I\u2019ll change my name. I\u2019m a proper businessman. I am Richard. I\u2019m not some street kid Richie.\u201d He\u2019s always distancing from his father because his father is the person in his life who caused him to be a sociopath and he knows it. He knows the trauma was so deep that it caused him to break and he became the person he became because of his father. There\u2019s a deep-seated hatred there.<\/p>\n
