Glen Kryger

Glen runs an auto body shop and holds his family together with steady, unglamorous competence — a good husband, a good father, the kind of man a small town relies on. When a workplace injury puts him in real pain, his doctor hands him a prescription that promises to get him back on his feet.

Painkiller uses Glen as the human face of a corporate crime story, and Taylor Kitsch plays him with an aching, physical honesty — you watch a genuinely decent man's judgment erode in increments so small he can't see them happening. It's a performance built on quiet dread rather than dramatics, which makes it land harder.
