Felony Minds: Evolution star Zach Gilford opens up about enjoying a really totally different model of Elias Voit. Initially launched as the principle villain for the Paramount+ revival, the crime drama has constantly provide you with causes to maintain Gilford intently tied to the Felony Minds forged. And for the third installment, that has meant introducing a storyline the place Voit primarily suffers from a type of amnesia and might’t entry the recollections of the monster that he was once.
In an interview with ScreenRant‘s Alisha Grauso, Gilford was requested concerning the means of enjoying a extra empathetic model of Voit because of the character’s mind damage. The Friday Night time Lights alum offers a prolonged response, expressing how the crime drama has supplied him the possibility to do one thing totally different. Within the quote beneath, Gilford additionally talks concerning the chance that Voit may very well be faking all of it:
ScreenRant: On TV, we see a number of serial killers who had been good household males who all of the sudden snap, or they had been the traditional neighbor. I do not suppose I’ve ever seen it go in the other way like this, the place you actually get the empathy knocked again into you by a traumatic mind damage.
“Yeah, no, I don’t know. I’ve been so fortunate this present, every season I’ve gotten to do one thing completely totally different. I keep in mind Erica, our showrunner, once we had been speaking about it earlier than we began capturing, she was telling me what was going to occur. She was like, ‘I’m going to make everybody really feel unhealthy for Voit.’ I used to be like, ‘Okay!’ So it’s similar to, it’s been enjoyable and it’s one thing totally different.
I joked final season, I used to be like, I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m simply memorizing traces. I don’t know the place I’m with [Voit’s] reminiscence. Everybody retains asking, ‘Are you faking it? Is that this actual, or is he faking it?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know. They didn’t inform me!’
So yeah, it’s been enjoyable and all these things. Even interacting with each certainly one of my castmates is totally different, which simply provides one other enjoyable factor to the scene as a result of while you’re on a present for some time, you type of fall within the pocket and it’s nice, however you’re like, ‘Cool. Oh, it’s a scene between us. I understand how we do that,’ and now it’s like, ‘Oh, how does this scene work?’”
What Voit’s Change Means For Felony Minds: Evolution
A Twist Would possibly Be Coming

Some followers have been speculating that Voit is unchanged and is enjoying the lengthy recreation with Dr. Julia Ochoa (Aimee Garcia), who isn’t what she seems to be.
It might converse to the chemistry that Gilford has constructed up along with his co-stars that the writers are nonetheless discovering methods to include Voit, even lengthy after the character most likely ought to have been neutralized. A technique which may would to maintain him round, finally, is to disclose that Voit is definitely honest.

His Path Is Large Open For Now
Voit’s place within the already-confirmed Felony Minds: Evolution season 4 will need to rely on how he concludes this installment. The twist is perhaps that there isn’t a twist, with Gilford’s character genuinely turning over a brand new leaf. Then again, if he is nonetheless as much as his previous methods, then that is perhaps an argument for the BAU to clean its arms of him as soon as and for all.
