PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — A Portland-raised actor is featured in a new Amazon Prime Video series that debuted at No. 1 on the streaming platform.
“Cross,” based on James Patterson’s book series “Alex Cross,” centers on the eponymous, sharp detective solving crimes for Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department.
Portland weekend events include Christmas Ship Dinner Cruise, Fungi Film Fest
In the first 20 days following the crime thriller’s premiere on Nov. 14, it garnered 40 million viewers worldwide — Prime Video’s third-highest debut for a series this year.
Although the series’ success could be attributed to the prowess of its leads, with “Straight Outta Compton” actor Aldis Hodge in the titular role and former Old Spice commercial star Isaiah Mustafa as his right-hand man, Johnny Ray Gill stole many scenes as a supporting actor.
