As a longtime admirer of Holt McCallany’s gripping performances and his ability to bring complex characters to life, I am beyond thrilled to see him take on the role of Harlan Buckley in “The Waterfront.” McCallany has proven time and again that he can delve deep into a character’s psyche, making even the most morally ambiguous figures feel relatable and human.
Actor Holt McCallany, famously recognized for his role in Mindhunter, has confirmed his participation to portray Harlan Buckley, a significant character, in Netflix’s upcoming family drama named “The Waterfront”. This project is penned by Kevin Williamson, who is renowned for developing series like Dawson’s Creek and The Vampire Diaries.
The full description for McCallany’s character reads:
- Harlan – is the patriarch of the Buckley family, who has built up the Buckley fishery business with his dad, even veering into some illegal territory in the 1980s. Since his two heart attacks, Harlan hasn’t changed his lifestyle, but his absence from the family business left it in the hands of his wife, Vicki, and his son, Cane — whose desperate, foolish decisions have left Harlan with no choice but to take the reins once again. Is Harlan a hero? A villain? It’s a hard call. He’s just a man who loves his whiskey
What is The Waterfront about?
Based on real-life occurrences, this TV series delves into the troubled Buckley clan and their desperate efforts to hold onto their deteriorating North Carolina fishing business, which pushes them towards progressively risky actions to stay afloat. (This summary is derived from Deadline.)
In “The Waterfront,” Williamson and Ben Fast serve as executive producers for Outerbanks Entertainment. Additionally, Williamson takes on the role of writer. This project marks McCallany’s latest partnership with Netflix, following his appearance in David Fincher’s serial killer drama “Mindhunter,” where he portrayed FBI agent Bill Tench. The series is produced by Universal Television.
In his latest TV appearance, McCallany played Warden Jaegger Fount in the popular Apple TV+ series Foundation last year. He also shared the screen with Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White in the sports biopic drama The Iron Claw, produced by A24. Apart from The Waterfront series, McCallany will soon grace our screens in two upcoming spy thrillers: James Hawes’ The Amateur alongside Rami Malek; and an unnamed Mission: Impossible film with Tom Cruise for the eighth installment of the franchise.
