"Billy Campbell has revealed details about his role in new AMC crime drama The Killing. The actor will play Seattle City Councilman Darren Richmond in the cable network&amp;#039;s remake of Danish series Forbrydelsen. &amp;quot;Richmond is a troubled person, I think,&amp;quot; he revealed in an official AMC interview. &amp;quot;[He&amp;#039;s also] a somewhat tragic person.&amp;quot; Campbell explained that Richmond, a mayoral candidate, will have his morals tested as he becomes increasingly entwined in the show&amp;#039;s central murder mystery. &amp;quot;The whole arc of the character is an idealist finding out that you can&amp;#039;t get in the ring without, to some extent, liking the taste of blood,&amp;quot; he suggested. The former Melrose Place star also suggested that the crisis faced by Richmond is &amp;quot;a really interesting dilemma&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s gotten involved in politics to make a difference,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s about winning. If you don&amp;#039;t win, you can&amp;#039;t do any of the good things you thought you might.&amp;quot; The Killing will premiere on April 3, following a preview of the first episode tomorrow night at 9.30/8.30c.
