Joshua Jackson Plays Christopher Duntsch in Dr. Death
Dr. Death' is a crime series that follows Dr. Christopher Duntsch, whose medical misconduct has earned him the moniker Dr. Death. As his notoriety grows, his other doctors do everything they can to stop him. The motif of an evil doctor has appeared numerous times in literature, popular films, and television series.
Joshua Jackson's Dr. Death is undoubtedly the show's biggest attraction. He was originally cast as the multi-faceted sociopath. And he would have been absolutely terrific in this part. After all, his portrayal of sexual sadist serial killer Paul Spector on the BBC's The Fall was outstanding. Depending on the situation, that character also required equally believable shades of emotional detachment and a pleasant, socially adept demeanor.

Christopher Duntsch, played by Joshua Jackson, is a dubious spinal surgeon who chose his specialty for more or less financial reasons, with disastrous repercussions. It's something Jackson has clearly given a lot of consideration to. 'The institutions are not actually built for patient outcomes,' he said. In Peacock's limited series Dr. Death, Jackson faced the unusual difficulty of portraying someone who many would consider a real-life villain.
In Dr. Death, Jackson plays Christopher Duntsch, a real-life neurosurgeon who became famous for permanently maiming and killing two patients. It can't be simple to put yourself in the mind of someone who committed such heinous crimes and try to play them onscreen. After seeing Dr. Death, fans knew Dornan was a wonderful candidate for the character because of his portrayal.
