SPOILERS ABOUT MINDHUNTER SEASONS 1 AND 2_ IS TED GUNN BASED ON A REAL PERSON? Ted Gunn is the new assistant director of the FBI at Quantico. He replaced Robert Shepard (played by Cotter
Smith), who took voluntary early retirement. In episode two, Shepard revealed he was pushed out of the FBI, after taking the fall for Holden’s behaviour when interrogating murderers. In
season one, Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff), Bill Tench (Holt McCallany), Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) and Shepard agreed to lie to the OPR about erasing a tape recording of Holden interviewing
murderer Darrell Gene Devier (Adam Zastrow). WHO IS SERIAL KILLER WILLIAM JUNIOR PIERCE? The tape included Holden talking to Devier about his sexual preferences, and he used offensive
language to extract the confession which the FBI and many others would deem highly inappropriate. Gunn is hugely supportive of the work being done at the Behavioural Science Unit (BSU) and
gives them the funding and resources they need to carry out their work. He even promises Holden and Bill that he would secure them an interview with Charles Manson (Damon Herriman), which he
did. Ted Gunn is not based on one real person and is a fictional character. The character was inspired by the changing leadership of the FBI in the 1980s, which was becoming more
progressive towards investigating homicides with behavioural studies. Gunn is highly impressed with Holden’s work in particular, and his ability to extract information from serial killers
than no one else can. However, he also asked Wendy and Bill to keep an eye on Holden, whose unusual approaches have landed the BSU in hot water before. WILL THERE BE ANOTHER SERIES OF
