See Paul Bettany as the Unabomber in new Discovery series

Ted Kaczynski, a.k.a.

the Unabomber (played by Paul Bettany), was no quotidian criminal.

Ted chose nobody, Bettany notes, and nobody chose Ted.

One reason that Bettany signed on toManhuntwas its examination of Fitz and Kaczynski in relation to each other.

The show has no sympathy for Ted Kaczynski, but it does have empathy for him.

Thats important because otherwise, the conversation stops at monster.
