“#Joshua Jackson on his ‘evil’ role in ‘Dr. Death’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Joshua Jackson stars as Christopher Duntsch in Peacock\u2019s true-crime drama \u201cDr. Death,\u201d which chronicles the case of the ex-Texas neurosurgeon who earned his nickname by maiming dozens of patients \u2014 and killing two of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first and hardest thing for me to do was to take my judgement about this man and what he did, and put it to the side and try to see his life from his perspective \u2014 where he\u2019s the hero of his story rather than the villain,\u201d Jackson, 43, told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter that, everything sort of fell into place. When you are willing to recognize that even though the outcome is monstrous, the journey is human, [and] then you can start to figure out how he behaved why he behaved in that way.\u201d <\/p>\n

Duntsch, 50, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2017 in what\u2019s considered a precedent-setting case \u2014 one of the first instances in which a doctor was incarcerated for malpractice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Premiering Thursday (July 15) on Peacock, the series<\/a>\u2019 timeline jumps around in focusing on Duntsch\u2019s life and career while also following fellow doctors Robert Henderson (Alec Baldwin) and Randall Kirby (Christian Slater) as they realize that he\u2019s been harming his patients and set out to take him down. They\u2019re aided by Dallas Assistant District Attorney Michelle Shughart (AnnaSophia Robb).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThose guys are so good and so good together, and they had so much fun playing off of each other,\u201d Jackson said, referring to his co-stars. \u201cI just wish I had the opportunity to be in more of those scenes. I got the heavy side of the story! They got the light side, but I\u2019m at a place in my life and career where the beginning, middle, and end of a job for me is good work with good people. So, this was definitely both of those things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Much of the action in the first few episodes takes place in 2012, leading up to the following year, when Duntsch\u2019s medical license was revoked. He was arrested in 2015 and tried and convicted in 2017.<\/p>\n

The show\u2019s dark material was not a picnic to re-enact, Jackson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were lots of days that were quite difficult\u2026 it\u2019s just an evil place to live. And I don\u2019t think I even realized the amount of pressure that I was under until it was done,\u201d he said. \u201cThe relief of finally putting him down [at the end] and knowing that I didn\u2019t have to be with that man anymore was pretty intense.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

But, there was a bright spot: Jackson was going home to a full house, since he married \u201cQueen and Slim\u201d star Jodie Turner-Smith in 2019 and became a first-time father<\/a> in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a joy,\u201d he said. \u201cTo be inside of a supportive relationship, to have a wonderful wife who\u2019s also an actor \u2014 who gets what you\u2019re going through and is gracious enough to try to create space for me to work in \u2014 is incredible. And then no matter what emotional state I was in [while filming], this little engine of joy that we created together just wants to be with Daddy. So, that is the best tonic for any bad day.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
