Everyone’s a suspect on NBC’s Deception, the freshman whodunit series about young detective Joanna Locasto (Meagan Good), who goes undercover to find out who killed her childhood best friend, Vivian Bowers. Leading the way in ethical dubiousness is Robert Bowers (Victor Garber), the family patriarch and Vivian’s father. By the show’s third episode, viewers know that Robert is not only championing a new drug that has exhibited deadly side effects in trial patients, but also recently ended an affair with his secretary, fired her, and then scared her into silence by dispatching an employee to break both of her brother’s knees with a hammer. Robert hires Joanna as his personal assistant, thus providing her with an inside track to the family’s professional and personal inner workings — but how much does he know about her true motives?
Read our full interview with Garber to get his take on Robert’s capacity for evil, his on-screen marriage, and the one thing he thinks could tear the Bowers family apart.
