Robin (robinmy) | 1389 comments I've seen this actor in many shows. I think he'll make a great Alex Cross.

I think so, too! Loved him in Leverage.

Lauren (laurenjberman) | 1131 comments Looking forward to this although Morgan Freeman is a hard act to follow :)

Great news for those of us currently doing a series buddy read! I can definitely picture this actor as Alex! Now I'm wondering who'll play the other major parts.

Very much so.


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 3059 comments Aldis Hodge will be a perfect Alex Cross. I loved him in Leverage. He was my favorite characters. He is a great actor.

I don't think there will be any comparison to Morgan Freeman after five minutes into the show.


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 3059 comments I forgot Jonetta posted this before. Here is an update.

I rarely watch daytime TV, but James Paterson was on the Kelly and Mark show this morning to discuss his new release (collaboration with Michael Crichton). Crichton's wife asked Paterson to finish his last book, Eruption. It sounds great and suspenseful.

Anyway, he is working with a development group to bring Alex Cross to Prime. He said he is working closely to ensure they do his character justice. He doesn't want the fans to be disappointed

From Variety:
Amazon Prime Video‘s upcoming series based on James Patterson’s Alex Cross novels is being renewed for Season 2, Variety has learned from sources.

The show, which stars Aldis Hodge as Cross, has yet to debut its first season or even set a premiere date. But according to sources, Amazon was impressed enough with what they have seen from the first season to greenlight the second and begin casting. Jeanine Mason (“Roswell, New Mexico,” “Upload”) has reportedly already been cast in Season 2

I'm not familiar with his work, but I thought he was perfect when I watched the trailer.


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 3059 comments Sandra, I laughed when James Paterson said, Aldis is a hunk. Perfect for Cross. I was thinking considering how many women fell for him, Paterson is right.

Veda  (moonchild63) | 104 comments I love Aldis Hodge - primarily from the Leverage TV series, if you have not seen it

it is a good one - esp for binge watching!

I saw this & wigged out - cant wait for November 🤗

Got hooked on Alex Cross (& Women's Murder Club) by James Patterson many 🌛's ago & look forward to this new cinematic addition esp with Hodge as he is lucious eye candy (if one can still say such 🙁)


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 3059 comments Veda, I loved him in Leverage too.

Anita (anitanodiva) | 1128 comments Adis Hodge was wonderful in Leverage, one of my favorite TV series. He will be great as Alex Cross.


Sandra Hoover (sandrahoover) | 11211 comments Mod
I'm sad that I'm up to date in the Alex Cross series!! sniff!! The audios just flew by and now I'm waiting on the next release. Maybe this show will sustain me until the next book. lol


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 3059 comments Congratulations! I read one or two books, then I skip a month or two. I'm so behind, but I keep reading. I'm looking forward to this show.


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 3059 comments I saw the trailer for Alex Cross yesterday. It looks so good. Come on November.
