Aldis Hodge has had quite a run these past few years with prominent roles in titles like BLACK ADAM, ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI, HIDDEN FIGURES, CLEMENCY and more, but he’s ready for his close-up in the titular role of Alex Cross in upcoming Series, CROSS.
The Series filming in and around Toronto, is based on James Patterson‘s best-selling novels. The Series will stream on Prime Video and centers on a Forensic Psychologist and Detective hunting-down killers with his uniqe skillset.
Hodge has been in Toronto most of 2023 already working on this Series and we spotted him in the West End at Tom’s Dairy Freeze in Etobicoke filming an external scene in a Mustang.
Despite being in a rush, he was so nice to stop for a quick Selfie and signed some memorabilia for fans. He’s been quietly working on this Series which seems him serve also as an Executive Producer, and it will continue to film in these parts through late April.
