And he definitely was hesitant to take the part. He was really flattered because I don't think he gets bad guy offers that often. And he was intrigued, but he was saying, you know, this guy's still alive and we're the same age. So he knows who I am. And I hate the idea of him walking around prison saying Dennis Quaid's playing me in a TV show. And I just don't want to give him the satisfaction.

And I said, I totally get that, you know, but this show is really about Melissa. It's about your relationship with your daughter. And we're not glorifying Keith's character. We're not showing the murders. You're not going to have to do anything horrific in any flashbacks. You're not going to see extensive violence against women on screen anymore. And I was really adamant about that.

And I just said, you know, it's more about the psychological toll on your relationship with your daughter. And so he was like, OK, let me think about it. And then the next day he said yes. And I was shocked. And he said, you know, I've realized that I'm not playing games. Keith, I'm playing Melissa's version of Keith.

And I think that gave him the freedom to do what he wanted because he had asked me, you know, should I try to meet Keith? And I said, no. And he said, I don't really want to and I don't really want to. So he just decided to do his own thing. And I shared some of the letters with him and I shared some of my notes from what Melissa had told me. and answered his questions.

Yes, always. I always had Melissa front of mind. And, you know, that was also part of the reason I wanted to fictionalize, you know, her kids have different names, they have different ages, you know, the kids are 100% invented, her husband is 100% invented, Dr. Gregg is invented, even though yes, she's been on Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz, we wanted to create just someone brand new.

And then in addition to all of those concerns, there's also the concern about Keith's victims and their families. It's just I take it really seriously. You know, it's really important to me that we do right by everybody. And yes, it's entertainment. But you know, I never forget that it's people's real lives.
