Mahershala
Ali is a Hollywood A-lister whose performances exude discipline and
craft. He strikes me as an actor who studies, prepares, presents, all
with deliberation and precision. In True Detective Season Three, Ali is
an Arkansas detective during three time periods in the complicated case
of the disappearance of two children, a brother and sister. He and his
partner (Stephen Dorff) follow clues, draw conclusions, chase red
herrings, arrest, release, rethink and revisit, while
the bodies of those surrounding the case pile up. This is a
particularly challenging part because Ali's character must maintain the
same fiercely individualistic core while being shaped by family,
co-workers and criminals against a backdrop of personality politics,
class and race. His most impressive work is as the aged detective,
battling dementia while trying to answer lingering questions: primarily,
what was done, by whom and why.
