The Swedish actor helps give AMC's hypnotic adaptation of a Danish mystery series its chilly Scandinavian/Girl With the Dragon Tattoo vibe as Stephen Holder, the skeevy new partner of Seattle homicide cop Sarah Linden (the incandescent Mireille Enos).

Holder keeps getting more and more suspicious; this week's episode revealed he's into some shady business involving large amounts of cash exchanged in paper bags. But he's just as likely to slip in a sneakily funny line, like his admission that he's been celibate for the past six months "for personal reasons." We still don't know if Holder's a good guy or a bad guy, but one thing is certain: Kinnaman's a great talent.
