Finn Wittrock (born October 28, 1984) is an American actor best known for his role as Damon Miller on three seasons of "All My Children" (ABC/Hulu/OWN, 1970-2013). Having grown up in a theater-obsessed family in Massachusetts and Los Angeles, Wittrock began studying acting on his own after high school, and enrolled in the drama program at New York's prestigious Juilliard School. It wasn't long before he began landing guest spots on shows like "Cold Case" (CBS, 2003-2010), "ER" (NBC, 1994-2009), and "CSI: Miami" (CBS, 2002-2012), all while honing his craft by acting in plays in and around New York and Los Angeles. His big break came in 2009 when he was cast as the young Casanova Damon Miller on "All My Children." Wittrock appeared as the Miller character for three seasons on the show, before returning to the stage in 2012. This time, however, he would be starring alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman in a Mike Leigh-directed revival of "Death of a Salesman." The revival received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with Wittrock receiving much of the praise for his performance as Harold "Happy" Loman. After the play wrapped up in the spring of 2012, Wittrock returned to screen acting, appearing in a recurring role as Dale in the 1950s period drama "Masters of Sex" (Showtime 2013- ), as well as supporting roles in the big-budget epic "Noah" (2014) and "Winter's Tale" (2014). 2014 was also the year Wittrock appeared in the HBO movie "The Normal Heart," as well as an episode of "American Horror Story" (FX, 2011- ), thus allowing him to work with writer/director/producer Ryan Murphy on two separate projects in the same year.

If there is to be a Cape Fear miniseries (which there is no news of a production of one going to happen yet) this is who should play the characters. Adapted from the 1957 book The Executioners by John D. MacDonald. This book was adapted for the big screen the first time J Lee Thompson's 1962 film Cape Fear. Then later in 1991, adapted again, by Martin Scorsese for a film (also titled Cape Fear) which served more as a remake of the 1962 movie rather than an adaptation of The Executioners, as such. The main character Max Cady was played by Robert Mitchum and then Robert DeNiro. In an interview on his podcast show 'The Real Ones', actor Jon Bernthal said that Max Cady in Cape Fear was a role he always saw himself playing and will not turn down if he got casted. He claimed it to be one of his two 'dream roles'. "A vengeful inmate from West Virginia, who is released from prison after serving his parole, seeks revenge on the lawyer that dismissed his case and refused to not represent him. He tortures the lawyer and his family by stalking them and threatening him in some kind of twisted game, including a strange relationship with his daughter." I think HBO would work for the studio producing it. I can also see Hulu. I would give it around 6-8 episodes.
