1 Jun
Summary
- Cary Elwes found his M.I.A. costume choice a comfortable advantage.
- The series follows a young woman avenging her family's cartel murders.
- Elwes admires writer Bill Dubuque's nuanced character development.
Actor Cary Elwes, known for his roles in "The Princess Bride" and "Robin Hood: Men in Tights," shared his delight in the relaxed wardrobe for his character, Tim Kincaid, in the drama series M.I.A. Elwes, 63, portrayed Kincaid, a private investigator with a Key Largo vibe, sporting Hawaiian shirts and shorts, which made him the envy of his castmates during the hot Miami summer filming.
The Peacock series, created by Bill Dubuque, follows Etta, a young woman determined to avenge her family's execution by a Miami cartel. Kincaid is brought in by the gangsters to find Etta, but the season sees him rediscovering his moral compass while investigating the case. Elwes expressed admiration for Dubuque's writing, having been a fan of his work on "Ozark."
Elwes described Kincaid as a complex character, an ex-Miami-Dade homicide detective who becomes a private investigator. He noted the detective's innate curiosity and dedication to truth, traits common among private investigators and former police officers. Elwes also recently played a detective in the film "Dead Man's Wire," acknowledging the interesting coincidence of portraying two similar roles consecutively.
