Will Graham (Hugh Dancy)Will Graham is a gifted criminal profiler thanks to his deep well of empathy. Although he is not an FBI agent himself, he does lecture at the academy at Quantico. Special Agent Jack Crawford, head of the Behavioral Science Unit, enlists Will to work on a serial killer case due to Will's nearly mythical skills when it comes to getting into the heads of killers.Will is able to go to a scene and practically walk into it as the killer, seeing it in his head. As he takes on the role of the killer he says to himself: this my design, referring to the nature of the killer. These abilities come at a cost, however, as Will is haunted by his visions from the various murder scenes he has investigated.Although Crawford enlists the help of psychiatrist-- and, unknown to him or Will, serial killer-- Dr. Hannibal Lecter initially to look after Will, the two men become something of a team bouncing ideas off each other, recognizing common traits in one another.Background: Prior to his work with the FBI, Will was a police offer and was stabbed in the line of duty. According to Will he is on the spectrum, closer to the autism/Asperger's end. Will is something of a collector of stray dogs. Show less «
