You are allowed to play fictional serial killers Zack Guilford To stretch his acting muscles – but there are certain storylines that he is not interested in exploring Criminal.
“[On Friday Night Lives] We didn’t come up with a way for all the characters to stay in five seasons. It was sad for the audience and it was sad for us to have our friends leave the show, but I think it’s part of what made the show better,” Guilford, 43, said exclusively. US every week. “and [on Criminal Minds] They found a way that made sense for Voit to stick. ”
Guilford didn’t think it would make sense for Voit to go from villain to hero.
“I didn’t like it, ‘Well, he’s good, and he’s an FBI agent now,” Guilford pointed out before revealing his only “no” about the arc that could be done. “We can’t talk about computers. We can’t talk about evidence.”
Before Season 3 Criminals: EvolutionGuilford filmed the scene and said, “There’s one scene because Voit was a technician and he created his own network. There’s one point where he’s talking about the motherboard and the computer circuit.
The first season of Criminals: Evolution (AKA OG Season 16 Criminals Series) introduced Voit as the main antagonist. Bau hunted a prolific killer called Sikarius after linking him to 62 murders and to be the mastermind behind setting up an online network of fellow serial killers.

After Voit was arrested, for one murder – he became Bau’s professional criminal consultant. It is still unknown where criminals will be talking about Voit this season after he was attacked and likely died in prison.
“I was supposed to leave the show a while ago, so ‘Well, I have to leave at some point. If you don’t want to kill me, we should do a spin-off,” Guilford said. “It’s called the mind of a criminal: follow what Voit does when he’s out in the world. For some reason he’s either running away or he’s released and he’s this white whale.
Joke aside, Guilford is grateful for his experience Criminals set. He specifically pointed out how collaborative the process is while working with the showrunner. Erica Messer. Another fun behind the scenes fact? Criminals It was one of Guilford’s first auditions as an actor.
“When I was 21 in New York – I was just graduating from college, auditioned, and it was called Quantico. It was for the pilot. “I’m going to be on CBS shows for 15 years. I didn’t even call back, and the show lasted 15 years,” he revealed, enjoying that he probably auditioned for the role of Spencer Reid. Matthew [Gray Gubler]. ”

Guilford ultimately gained the role of stealing scenes in VOIT, but he doesn’t necessarily see the characters the way viewers do.
“No matter what happens [role] That’s what I’m trying to make people like characters. No matter what they’re doing, no matter how bad they are. It’s especially fun with people like serial killers. Or even when I worked for a good girl, I was the guy who cheated on his pregnant wife and I was like, “But I want everyone to like me.” We. “The problem is to make people more positive and attract you.”
Guilford continued: “I feel very, very, very fortunate and fortunate, especially as a man who started out as a mat. [Saracen on Friday Night Lights] – The most wonderful man in the world. For a long time, everyone wanted to do it for me was a nice guy. I’m still a nice guy [but] I happened to have done something bad [on screen as Voit]. ”
