Patrick

Patrick is a young presence around the Behavioral Science Unit, part of the office machinery that keeps Holden, Bill, and Wendy's project running. He is eager and deferential, the kind of junior figure who listens more than he speaks, absorbing the strange new science of interviewing killers as it takes shape around him.

Joshua Wills plays him with a quiet attentiveness that suits a show built on procedure and patience — Patrick registers as someone still learning what kind of institution he has joined. He works as a small, steady presence, the ordinary staffer against whom the show measures how unsettling its central work has become.
