Fan Casting Alex Balder in John Woo's Max Payne

Max's former partner and the last friend he had inside the DEA. His murder at Roscoe Street station is the trap that frames Max and launches the film's revenge spiral. Balder brings warmth and moral complexity to the flashbacks, suggesting a good cop who made compromises Max never knew about. His death is the first domino, and his absence is the silence Max cannot fill.
