Steve Carell has bagged himself a role in the upcoming limited series ‘The Patient’ at FX.
Carell will play the Psychotherapist Alexander Strauss in the 10 episode series in which he finds himself held prisoner by a serial killer with an unusual request: curb his homicidal urges. But unwinding the mind of this man while also dealing with the waves of his own repressed troubles creates a journey perhaps as treacherous as his captivity.
Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg will write and executive produce the series, with Carell executive producing in addition to starring. Caroline Moore and Victor Hsu will also executive produce. The show is produced by FX Productions.
