Acclaimed actor Kristos Andrews is Emmy-worthy in the Lifetime film “The Killer In My Backyard.”
He deserves to be a contender for “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.”
Ironically enough, the movie premiered on Lifetime exactly one year ago. Fred Olen Ray co-wrote and directed the film. Brittany Underwood (“One Life to Live”) plays Allyson, who buys a house with her fiancé Eric (portrayed by Jacob Taylor). To make ends meet, the couple decides to rent out the guest house to help with the expenses.
They are introduced to Joshua (Kristos Andrews), who arrives willing to put up a hefty rent for a short stay and appears to be the quintessential tenant, but his antics make Eric and Allyson uncomfortable, and then he puts his twisted plan into motion.
His performance as Joshua earned a glowing review, and rightfully so. Andrews does a convincing job playing the villain and he proves that looks can be deceiving, where there is more to Joshua than what meets the eye. This role allows his fans and viewers to see a different side to his artistry as an actor, performer, and storyteller.
Andrews is able to humanize the manipulative and intense character, and he showcases Joshua’s many complex layers in a raw and authentic fashion.
The Television Academy ought to take notice of Kristos Andrews in this Lifetime movie since his acting work is just as notable as his Emmy award-winning work in the digital drama series “The Bay,” where he plays the characters Pete Garrett and Adam Kenway.
