"I was in a real sense saying farewell to my significant other and she saw her telephone and went, 'Gracious, I just got a proposal to play your better half on Criminal Personalities.'"

For the new portion of Criminal Personalities, Gilford plays Elias Voit, "a tasks expert for a worldwide network safety firm who has a clouded side and a fixation on death,"

As depicted by the decoration. Furthermore, in the last snapshots of episode two, it was uncovered that The Meadows entertainer plays Elias' clueless spouse.

As per Gilford, he remained hush about the conceivable coordinated effort at work until it was settled.

What's more, apparently the Crook Brains: Development makers were similarly quiet as they created Elias as a person.
