There are so many different backgrounds, different cultures that are mixed up in these cities. There’s some kind of authenticity about big cities. Something that I really like about the show is London is almost a character. Outside just the crime-scene cleaning and the relationships with the family and the mistress and the mob, I think there’s a nice portrait of this invisible immigrant in London or in any big city. Did you pick up on all those other themes? Martin (Denis Menochet, left) and Jean Bastiere (Marc-Andre Grondin) and in “Spotless” on Esquire.Īlthough the show has the unusual crime-scene cleaning angle, there are a lot of other things going on. We became, kind of, brothers on set even though we’re playing brothers. I think the six months of shooting together proved me right. I just got this feeling when I read the part with him that working with him would be easy. I was fulfilled in many ways with the character.Īnd then I met Denis Ménochet, the guy playing Martin.
Most people have never met someone who does crime scene cleaning. Jean’s job is real interesting and it’s not something you see often. It has its own tone and it’s character oriented. As an actor-and I think if I was in front of my TV-I would feel the same … It reminds you of different things. Martin represents a life that ran away from years ago.įor me it was that this is something really, really different. Things-his family, his secrets-he has never been able to make peace with. With Martin showing up it’s not just him annoying on a daily basis. I think there is a darkness inside him that comes from his childhood. Throughout the first season … there’s so much happening and the character changes so much. Jean is very meticulous in his job as a crime scene cleaner, but he makes a mess of his personal life.

Grodin and I talked more about the fabulously unusual series, the movie that has kept him working as an actor and his love for hockey. “It’s a real interesting ride into darkness and laughter,” Grodin said. When the “crime-scene Picasso’s” cleaning talents catch the attention of frightening London mobster named Nelson Clay (Brendan Coyle, “Downton Abbey”), Jean and his brother are forced to work for the crime boss. “I’m a crime-scene cleaner,” Jean tells him. Martin insists Jean-since dead bodies are his thing-help him retrieve heroin balloons from this particular body. He’s barely keeping his business afloat when his estranged brother Martin (Denis Ménochet) shows up one night pushing a freezer packed with the body of a dead drug courier. Grondin stars as Jean Bastiere, a crime-scene cleaner who scrubs every trace of blood, guts or brain matter from the most heinous crime scenes.Ī French ex-pat living in London, Jean is married with kids but is having an affair with his therapist.

Still, it’s a good thing he’s not affected by blood and gore, because he dives elbow deep in the terrific new series “Spotless,” premiering at 9 p.m. “It’s easy to say when you don’t have to deal with it for real.” “I wanted to be a paramedic when I was a kid so I’ve always been kind of attracted to stuff like that,” the French-Canadian actor said during a recent interview.
