Directed by RJ Collins, Crescent City tells the story of Brian Sutter (Terrance Howard), a police officer in a small southern town who’s struggling to keep it together. When the town is terrorized by a serial killer, Sutter and his partners, Luke Carson and Jaclyn Waters (Esai Morales and Nicky Whelan), are called into action. But, as the body count rises, everyone—including those on the force—become suspects, forcing them to try to contain the horrors of their past as they look to catch the killer. In this 1on1, we speak to Whelan about denying the 'shadow self' and working with an amazing cast.
