Quick View
Reacher season 3 is drawing a lot of attention with this season’s lineup of formidable antagonists. Among them, Pauline is the most highlighted antagonist character because of his size, which clearly surpasses the protagonist Jack Reacher. But Pauline is not the only villain in this series. There is a looming presence of a mysterious man called Francis Xavier Quinn whose association with the events of the plot is undeniable.
Although Quinn is not present in the first three episodes of Reacher season 3, he emerges as the most deceitful villain that Reacher has faced. He is a ruthless and cunning character who is playing chess with Reacher, making him a true adversary who can challenge Reacher intellectually. The character of Quinn is played by Brian Tee, who is well-known for his impressive repertoire of antagonistic roles.
Let’s look at some of the legendary yet underrated roles played by Brian Tee.
Drift King in the The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift
The ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise is one of the most realistic movie series in the action movie genre with its underground car races and thieves. The movie The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) is the third one in this franchise and the movie takes place in the town of Tokyo to showcase its drift racing scene. Brian Tee plays the role of the main villain, Drift King, in this movie. He has done a phenomenal job earning the attention of the fans of the franchise.
A corrupt politician in The Wolverine
The Wolverine (2013), despite not being the most action-packed movie in the Marvel universe, has taken place in Japan. In this movie, Brian Tee plays the role of a corrupt politician Noburo Mori, who’s engaged with Mariko, the love interest of the protagonist.
After his corruption was exposed to Wolverine, he dismissed him promptly. Though this is not a supervillain role for Tee, the significance of an antagonistic character in a superhero movie is quite an achievement.
Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: Out Of The Shadows
Brian Tee got to play the role of a supervillain Shredder in the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: Out Of The Shadows (2016). Though the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is not very promising, the 2016 sequel has done a wonderful job. The way Tee has expanded the iconic character of Shredder is remarkable. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, he mentioned,
“When you’re Shredder for Halloween as a kid, and now you get to play him, it’s like a childhood dream come to life. I must have been 8. It was around when the comic books first came out, I believe, in ’84. I was a big reader. I loved these turtles that were somehow mutants and teenagers and they were ninjas. How cool is that?”
Reacher season 3 is streaming on Prime Videos.
