Fan Casting Laszlo Kreizler in The Alienist

A brilliant psychologist whose expertise is sought after but whose progressive techniques are feared, Lazlo dresses all in black and never wears a hat so his long, dark hair, is often slicked back with rain. A tall man of means in his late 20's-30's with coal black eyes & a fierce, not unkind gaze, Lazlo does most things intensely, though he's weak in his right arm from a childhood injury, and his frustrations & worries are made clear in the urgency of his calculations, desires and physical tics. He bobs his head when reading and shifts rapidly from foot to foot when standing. He's described as "hungry, restless hawk determined to wring satisfaction from the worrisome world around him."
