But have they discovered Jack&#8217;s true nature too late?<\/p>\n<p>You may like<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Where I live (in the UK), Whitehall is best known for his stand-up comedy, panel shows and affable documentaries \u2013 but he&#8217;s been acting professionally since the age of nine. He&#8217;s a charismatic chap, and that makes me think he&#8217;s going to be convincing as the scheming Jack: we need to believe that Jack&#8217;s charm can win over Duchovny&#8217;s patriarch as he sets about trying to destroy the Tanners&#8217; lives.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-64fa0f67-57d0-4571-bd4d-4079844911a2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" href=\"\" data-url=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/>What else do we know so far about the new Prime Video show Malice? <\/p>\n<p>Malice | Official Trailer | Prime Video &#8211; YouTube<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1761270191_922_maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Malice | Official Trailer | Prime Video - YouTube\" data-aspect-ratio=\"16\/9\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"watch-on-youtube-VV-xtXwLxys\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/VV-xtXwLxys\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/VV-xtXwLxys\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"95cdccfd-aa20-4c90-8849-68a82e0e6c9a\">In addition to Whitehall, Duchovny and van Houten, Malice also stars:<\/p>\n<p>Harry Gilby (Tolkien), Teddie Allen (Swallows And Amazons), and Phoenix Laroche (Trying) as their three childrenChristine Adams (Hijack) as Nat\u2019s best friend JulesRaza Jaffrey (Homeland) as Jules\u2019 husband Damienand newcomers Rianna Kellman and Jade Khan as Jules and Damien\u2019s daughters<\/p>\n<p id=\"660aed69-9ff2-4a6b-be23-a9bcf86659ac\">You will be amazed to discover that Whitehall had an &#8220;incredible&#8221; time filming, that the shoot was an &#8220;amazing experience&#8221; and that the people he worked with are &#8220;insanely talented&#8221;. But that&#8217;s probably true, because Malice is penned by the BAFTA award-winning screenwriter James Wood. Wood&#8217;s CV includes Rev, which he created, as well as Ambassadors and Decline &amp; Fall. <\/p>\n<p>According to Tara Erer, Head of Originals for UK and Northern Europe, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/amazon\" data-auto-tag-linker=\"true\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/amazon\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> MGM Studios, \u201cit\u2019s been an absolute joy seeing James Wood\u2019s scripts come to life with our incredible cast led by Jack, David, and Carice.
