Michael Sheen to Play a Serial Killer on Fox’s ‘Prodigal Son’ Drama Pilot From Greg Berlanti

Michael Sheen has been cast as one of the stars of Fox’s drama pilot “Prodigal Son” from producer Greg Berlanti, TheWrap has learned. The “Masters of Sex” alum will be playing a serial killer.

Here’s the official description for the pilot: Malcolm Bright has a gift. He knows how killers think, how their minds work. Why? His father was one of the worst — a notorious serial killer called “The Surgeon.” That’s why Bright is the best criminal psychologist around; murder is the family business.
