'I am the Night': Jefferson Mays says sociopath George Hodel lived in pursuit of his perception of truth and beauty
The dark and twisted tale of George Hodel told through the eyes of his granddaughter Fauna Hodel will be revealed come Monday, January 28, when ‘I am the Night’ premieres on TNT. For the uninitiated, George is considered one of the evilest men history, having been accused of committing some of the most gruesome murders, including that of Elizabeth Short, better known as the Black Dahlia.
‘I am the Night’ does not shed too much light on George, considering we are following the journey of Fauna (played brilliantly by India Eisley) and jaded investigative reporter Jay Singletary (portrayed perfectly Chris Pine). When you do see the ridiculously talented Jefferson Mays on the screen, you will be sure to feel your skin crawl, and oftentimes he will get under your skin, as per Mays’ hopes.
