The Peacock limited series Dr. Death stars Christian Slater as Randy Kirby, one of the doctors who exposed Dr. Christopher Duntsch (Joshua Jackson)’s malpractice. Series creator Patrick McManus said the real Dr. Kirby was very sure of the story’s merits for television.
“I will tell you that my very first phone call, it was a very long conversation,” McManus said on a Contenders TV panel on Sunday at the Paramount Theatre. “He talked a lot. The last thing he said, it was Thanksgiving day, the last thing he said was, ‘Stick with Randy Kirby and I’m going to win you an Emmy.’”

Slater was unable to meet Kirby before playing him due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kirby and Dr. Robert Henderson (Alec Baldwin) led the charge to investigate Duntsch, whose spinal surgeries killed or maimed his patients. Slater attempted to capture Kirby’s righteous sense of moral duty.
“I think I played it just right,” Slater remarked after McManus’s story. “I don’t feel like I was overdoing it. These two guys were definitely heroes. To be able to stand up when they saw wrongdoing happening and take a stand against such a powerful system was very impressive.”
Jackson said the Duntsch story, reported by the Wondery podcast on which Dr. Death is based, illustrates inherent issues with the American health care system. Jackson hopes learning the story encourages patients to hold their doctors to higher standards.

“You need to get to know your doctor,” Jackson said. “You need to ask for second opinions. The system is not aligned with your outcome. The system is aligned with its own profit motive. It’s amazing to be a part of telling that story.”
