Gina Torres Joins Fox’s Memory of a Killer as a No Nonsense FBI Agent and We Are Here for It

If there’s one thing we love, it’s watching Gina Torres walk into a room and immediately take over. The Suits and 9-1-1: Lone Star alum is making a major return to network TV, and this time she’s bringing her signature gravitas to Fox’s upcoming thriller series Memory of a Killer. Yes, that’s the new Patrick Dempsey vehicle where he plays a hitman with early onset Alzheimer’s. Wild, right? Now, toss Gina into the mix as a sharply intelligent FBI agent who is not buying anyone’s nonsense, and suddenly you’ve got yourself a must-watch.

Gina Torres as FBI Agent Linda Grant

Torres will portray Linda Grant, described as a mercurial, seasoned, and brilliantly tenacious FBI agent. Translation She’s the kind of person who could unravel your deepest secrets with just one raised eyebrow. Her character is set to be a major antagonist to Dempsey’s Angelo Ledda, the memory slipping assassin trying to protect his family and dodge the feds at the same time.

Let’s just say Linda Grant is not going to make his life any easier. And honestly We wouldn't have it any other way.

What is Memory of a Killer About Anyway

Think The Bourne Identity meets Memento with a touch of Breaking Bad. Patrick Dempsey stars as Angelo, a hitman juggling a double life a quiet dad-slash-salesman upstate and a killer for hire in the city. But when he starts showing signs of Alzheimer’s and his daughter’s safety is compromised things get complicated. Now throw in an FBI agent with zero chill and a personal mission and you’ve got TV gold.

Gina Torres isn’t just a scene stealer she’s a whole scene architect. Her addition signals that Memory of a Killer isn’t messing around. With a strong ensemble that includes Michael Imperioli Richard Harmon and Odeya Rush this show is clearly aiming high. Gina’s role adds the moral complexity and firepower that’s going to keep viewers glued to their screens.

Gina Torres in a crime thriller chasing down Patrick Dempsey as a memory challenged assassin. We’d literally cancel plans to watch that. Memory of a Killer is already shaping up to be one of Fox’s most buzzworthy shows for 2025 and Torres joining the cast just raised the stakes. Keep your eyes peeled for the premiere date because this is one ride you won’t want to forget.
