Quote Of The Day By Joel Kinnaman: 'We Might Put Up A Façade That Everything Is Perfect But None Of Us Are...'

Joel Kinnaman, the Swedish-American actor known for his roles in The Killing, Robocop, The Suicide Squad, Altered Carbon, and For All Mankind, has shared a quote today that emphasizes the universality of human flaws. Speaking about his character, CIA agent John Nixon, in TNT's High Value Target: The Hunt For Saddam, Kinnaman said, "We all can relate to people's weaknesses.

We might put up a façade that everything is perfect but none of us are. When we see that weakness in somebody else, we understand or give ourselves a little bit of leeway." Kinnaman's character, Detective Stephen Holder, from the acclaimed TV series The Killing, is an addict striving to solve a murder while working on his own personal demons.

By sharing this quote, Kinnaman highlights how flawed characters can be relatable and entertaining, as they represent the imperfect nature of human existence.
