As a fan who’s spent countless hours engrossed in crime dramas and documentaries, I can’t help but feel a chill of anticipation run down my spine at the lineup for “Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy.” Gabriel Luna, James Badge Dale, Michael Angarano, Chris Sullivan, and Marin Ireland are five powerhouse actors who have proven their mettle in various genres. Their portrayals of Detective Rafael Tovar, Chief of Detectives Joe Kozenczak, Sam Amirante, Lead Prosecutor Bill Kunkle, and Elizabeth Piest promise to breathe new life into the chilling tale of one of history’s most infamous serial killers.


Five new main cast members have been added for the forthcoming Peacock miniseries titled “Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy.”
