TV in the past several years has been obsessed with serial killers: “ Dexter,” “ Hannibal,” “The Following,” “ The Fall,” “Aquarius,” Season 1 of “ True Detective.” The criminal-genius trope has become an easy instant recipe - just add slaughter - for transgressive TV ambition. In Stitchers, the actor looks much more like himself, which, as you can see from the photo below, is more cuddly bear than serial-killer.When I saw that Netflix planned a drama about serial-murder investigations executive-produced by David Fincher - the director of “Seven” and “ Zodiac” - my gut reaction was: Stop, you’re killing me. It's a bit closer to his role in Mindhunter, but, still, much less menacing. In fact, he looks so drastically different from the character he played in Netflix's true-crime drama that you probably wouldn't even recognize him in another role you might know him from - Chet in Grace Helbig's movie, Camp Takota.īritton also starred in the sci-fi crime show, Stitchers, which just ended after three seasons. This speaks volumes about both Britton's acting chops and Mindhunter's hair and makeup department.

You see, the actor resembles a young Seth Rogan when he's not busy portraying creepy AF serial-killers. However, the actor behind that performance, Cameron Britton, looks so different from his Mindhunter role in real life.

The episode introduced Edmund Kemper, the serial killer based on a real-life criminal known as “Big Ed” or the “co-ed killer." What makes this all even more terrifying is that the speech Kemper gave in the episode was basically word-for-word what the real Ed Kemper said in interviews.


For everyone who watched Netflix's Mindhunter, the serial killer from the show's second episode likely stuck out to you.
