Introduction to Reese Nesmith in Season 6
As Decider reports, Season 6 introduces Reese Nesmith as a pivotal young witness who finds himself in urgent need of protection after his father is murdered by Frank Harkness, played by Hugo Weaving. In the season’s opening episodes, security footage captures Reese fleeing the crime scene on a scooter, setting off a high-stakes search by the Slough House team.
By Episode 3, Jackson Lamb, portrayed by Gary Oldman, and Roddy Ho, played by Christopher Chung, locate Reese and place him into protective custody at a local arcade. The resulting interrogation scene showcases an immediate comedic clash, with Rush’s character exhibiting sharp wit and holding his ground against Lamb’s gruff interrogation style.
