played Alex Tully in Drive
Joined the race as part of his effort to determine what happened to his wife Kathryn, who is currently missing - having been kidnapped by The Race Sponsors, who wanted to coerce Alex into racing.
In his normal life, Alex is a landscaper/gardener, although this was not always true - prior to meeting Kathryn, Alex is believed to have been part of a criminal underground. He was the "wheel man" for a group of bank robbers, and it is suggested that this was not his first foray into criminal activity. It is this Alex, the violent amoral Alex, the The Sponsors are interested in having participate in their Race.
To that end, after it becomes evident that Alex is not yet willing to return to the person he once was, before Kathryn, The Sponsors set up an elaborate con involving a fake police officer, and the knowledge of his involvement in the bank robbery/shooting. They use this to bring the old Alex to the fore - and also to give him his old car back, a 72 Dodger, which he then participates in The Race with after his truck broke down.
Alex is not overly fond of Corinna, his de facto partner, although the two share a common bond - both have lost someone to The Sponsors (Corinna was kidnapped as a child, in order to force her parents to race - they were subsequently killed). This seems to be the starting point to a working friendship, and the further they get into The Race, the more respect Alex has for Corinna.

played Richard Castle in Castle (2009)
Richard Castle, roguish best-selling author, is the consummate man's man, ladies' man, and man about town - nearly as well known for his tabloid-generating antics as for his immensely successful novels. With two ex-wives in his past and his fifteen-year-old daughter and live-in mother watching his every move, his life is never short on drama. But now, having just killed off his most famous character and with his publisher ex-wife breathing down his neck for his next book, he's in desperate need of inspiration. When Castle is pulled in by NYPD Detective Kate Beckett to advise on an investigation, he discovers his next muse and a new calling. Turns out all those years of research for his crime novels paid off. Castle now has the opportunity to use his unique knowledge and skills to help solve murders, much to the chagrin of Detective Beckett.
