Nine Perfect Strangers star Luke Evans has officially been tapped to join the Criminal cast for Amazon MGM Studios’ forthcoming crime drama series, which will debut on Prime Video. He is set to portray the lead role of Tracy Lawless.
The character’s full description reads, “Tracy Lawless was pushed out of the outlaw life of his family at the age of 18 when a judge gave him a choice of prison or the military. In the Army, Tracy thrived, his wild outlaw instincts getting funneled into the strict discipline of the military. He was placed into the Special Forces and trained to be an expert in covert operations and guerilla warfare. But underneath it all, the Lawless blood still pumps in his heart.”

Evans will be joining previously announced cast members Emilia Clarke, Charlie Hunnam, Richard Jenkins, John Hawkes, Adria Arjona, Logan Browning, Kadeem Hardison, Pat Healy, Taylor Sele, Gus Halper, Aliyah Camacho, Michael Mando, Marvin Jones III, Michael Xavier, and Dominic Burgess.
