Cover Story Father, widower, killer: Dempsey, Imperioli make ‘Memory’ together By Dana Simpson There is a quote, often attributed to John Lennon, that states that “life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.” The turn of phrase — which actually stemmed from American writer and cartoonist Allen Saunders some 23 years before Lennon’s lyric in the 1980 song “Beautiful Boy” — is often used in a positive, meaningful way, as if to say, “be patient and good things will come your way when they are meant to find you.” Unfortunately, life doesn’t exclusively dish out good news. In Fox’s newest thriller series, “Grey’s Anatomy” alum Patrick Dempsey stars as Angelo, a New York City hitman whose life takes a dramatic turn when he is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. “Memory of a Killer” premieres Sunday, Jan. 25, on Fox. Based on the Belgian action thriller film “De zaak Alzheimer” from 2003, which was also titled “La Memoire du tueur”
in French, “Memory of a Killer” consists of 10 episodes in its first season and makes for a heartfelt and exciting addition to Fox’s prime-time lineup. “’Memory of a Killer’ is a propulsive series with a noisy, unrelenting character hook that immediately grabbed our attention,” said Michael Thorn, Fox Television Network president, in a press statement announcing the show. “In the spirit of ‘24’ and ‘House,’ we’re introducing a daring new signature Fox lead, a complicated antihero facing unimaginable danger. We’re excited to bring this gripping new thriller to life alongside our long-standing partners at Warner Bros.” Angelo, the series’ aforementioned “antihero,” strikes a familiar chord with fans of the crime genre. Despite earning the bulk of his money through illegal means, Angelo has managed to keep that part of his life a secret from his family by maintaining his facade as a photocopier salesman. But
In Focus “Rise of the 49ers” (AMC+ — Feb. 1, Limited Series Premiere) The four-part sports docuseries explores the dramatic and iconic run of the San Francisco 49ers during the “Gold Rush” reign from 1981 to 1995, when San Francisco won five Super Bowls and revolutionized the sport, on and off the field.
when his wife dies and his daughter is put in danger, Angelo’s mask begins to slip. Things become even more complicated when the detail-oriented hitman realizes his memory, too, is beginning to fail him. “Alzheimer’s is a foe he can’t outrun,” the Fox description begins, “and he knows too well how this ends, as his older brother is already lost to the condition. “Angelo is exceptionally resourceful and talented, the best of the best. But he’s about to be tested like never before — and now every minute counts,” the official series description continues. “This is only made more difficult when he discovers that his wife’s recent death may not have been an accident. So when someone comes after his daughter — who is pregnant — it’s clear the wall between his lives has been breached. ... Now Angelo must hunt down his mortal enemy while continuing to carry out hits without giving away his diagnosis and
still making it home in time to cook dinner for his daughter.” Joining Dempsey on screen is a familiar face in “The White Lotus” star Michael Imperioli, who portrays Angelo’s friend and boss, Dutch. Returning to a gritty role that would fit right into the world of “The Sopranos,” the early-’00s HBO sensation in which the actor played budding mobster Christopher Moltisanti, Imperioli’s Dutch is a talented chef who uses his Bronx-based Italian restaurant as a front for his criminal enterprise. Importantly, despite Angelo repeatedly putting his faith in his friend, Dutch hasn’t exactly earned anyone’s trust. Odeya Rush (“Lady Bird,” 2017) also joins the cast of “Memory of a Killer,” as announced in July. Having previously starred in a gamut of projects, including a 2011 episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and the 2023 conspiracy thriller “Dangerous Waters,” among others, Rush portrays Angelo’s daughter, Maria.
