Peacemaker Season 2 introduces one of the many alternate dimensions within the DCU – and one of them includes Keith, Christopher Smith’s late brother, who’s very much alive.
In the first season, we learned Peacemaker’s traumatic backstory: when he was a kid, his father goaded him into a fight with his brother, and Chris accidentally killed his sibling.
“I don’t kill people for nothing, all right? When my brother died, I made a vow… anyone I’d kill, I’d kill for peace, so unlike Keith, no one would ever die for no reason again,” he said in the Season 1 finale.
In Season 2 Episode 1, he has an emotional reunion with both his dad and Keith in another dimension, and there’s a good reason why the actor looks so familiar.
This is Keith’s actor in Peacemaker Season 2
Keith is played by David Denman in Peacemaker Season 2.
The Office fans will recognize him as Roy, who had a substantial role in the first three seasons (he also made guest appearances in the later seasons). He also played Mike in Traffic Light, Frank Sheehan in Mare of Easttown, and starred alongside John Krasinski in Michael Bay’s 13 Hours war movie.
More recently, he appeared in Bosch: Legacy, Netflix’s Rebel Ridge, and The Equalizer 3.
Denman and Gunn have been friends for over two decades (the actor also had a role in Brightburn, which Gunn produced).
“I’ve always been a fan. James is so incredibly talented, and his scripts are amazing, and if you liked Peacemaker Season 1, Season 2 is even better, in my opinion. It’s amazing. It’s funny, and it’s dramatic, and it’s incredibly entertaining,” he told Nexus Point News.
“Peacemaker is very specific, and that’s one of the great things about James. He knows exactly what he wants. He’s very specific about everything that he’s doing.
“But there’s a lot of fun making something with James, because especially when you’re doing a comedy like this, like Brightburn, there’s not a whole lot of comedy in that, if any.”
In another interview with Fortress of Solitude, Denman was asked how he thinks Keith would have turned out in Peacemaker’s original dimension if he hadn’t been killed.
“Yeah, I don’t know. Because the dynamic is so different in the new dimension with the father, right? The father is such a huge force. In the first season of Peacemaker, he’s this racist – just a horrible human being and horrible to his sons,” he said.
“It would have been a very different version of Keith than we see in the other dimension, because in that dimension, his dad’s nice in there, and they’re supportive and have a strong bond between the three of them.
“I think he probably still would have been protecting Chris, and I’d like to think that he would have stood up to his father at some point and stopped the abuse. That’s where I think he would have gone. That’s my hope.”
