Every now and then, a TV show will focus on veteran health, both physical and mental. It was FBI: Most Wanted’s turn, and Kellan Lutz delivered.

If you went into FBI: Most Wanted thinking of Kellan Lutz from movies like Twilight and The Legend of Hercules, you’ll be forgiven for not being certain about him. However, the latest episode of FBI: Most Wanted will make you think again about him.

Every now and then, TV writers like to deliver episodes that are linked to veterans. This is more common with shows like NCIS and SEAL Team, but Dick Wolf’s shows have brought these storylines in now and then. FBI: Most Wanted took a turn at delivering an episode with  Episode 6, “Invisible.”

The episode focused on a veteran who suffered from PTSS. After the death of his brother-in-arms, this vet goes on a murder spree, and it’s up to the team to bring him down. Everything is close to home to Lutz’s Crosby, a vet with PTSS too.

For weeks, we’d watched as Crosby struggled with his anger. This episode showed us why he has anger management problems. It’s part of his PTSS, and something that he still needs help managing.

The outstanding performance came with a monologue. He managed to show empathy for the suspect, sharing the training he’d received in the military. It was all about being ready for death, not letting it worry you. However, it didn’t work for him and didn’t work for others. Instead, as more brothers-in-arms died, the more the anxiety grew.

I have a habit of watching and writing or editing at the same time. This monologue made me stop. I was glued to the screen as Crosby told his story, heartbreaking for the men and women who do feel this in the real world. You can tell from the emotions coming through that Lutz had talked to vets about PTSS and the feelings during their time in the military. This performance was heartfelt and raw.

The brilliance continued to the end of the episode. We got to see the internal debate with the unwillingness to allow someone to bleed out but the knowledge that he’d put himself in the line of fire. Rushing out wasn’t a spur of the moment decision. He held back for as long as he could, but decided it was worth putting his life on the line for a fellow agent.

Because of this episode, I’m excited to see more of Crosby on FBI: Most Wanted. I’m ready to see more from Kellan Lutz.
