After nine seasons the interwoven and mysterious plot of NBCs The Blacklist continues to thicken. Following in the footsteps of shows like The X Files or Twin Peaks The Blacklist offers far more questions than answers. Frequently it leads viewers down a garden path filled with red herrings. One such road involves the ever mysterious identity of Red James Spader.
For years, viewers suspected that Red was Liz Keens Megan Boone father which would explain his preoccupation with the young FBI agent. However that fan theory was blown to pieces as the series progressed. Since then, Red said he is the KGB agent Ilya Koslov. But that was also a lie. Fans still do not know who he is or what Reds endgame is but they're desperate to find out.The masterminds identity is the biggest mystery of The Blacklist. But James Spader helped craft an enigma in a Borsalino fedora and Italian leather shoes playing his cards close to his chest.
With 4 decades of show business under his belt Spader knows a thing or two about creating a character. According to The Oklahoman the veteran actor made the decision to shave his head because it was the right choice for the role I would had my hair long for I think the last few projects that I would done. And it just felt it felt like the right thing for him so I it was an idea that I instigated and I think it was the right choice. It just seemed to fit his lifestyle and he has someone who has to move travel lightly and move swiftly and it seemed eminently practical for him.He has been on the move for a couple of decades now if not longer. And he travels lightly but he has to wear clothing thats practical. He has to be someone who has dressed to go straight from the jungle to a bankers office and be able to be comfortable and appropriately dressed for both.
