"'My son, Freddie, is autistic nonverbal,' Hopper tells me at a midtown hotel in Manhattan. 'Jack told me that his son, Reece, has special needs. So both of them are limited in their communication.' It's one thing for Hopper to find a fictional character who bears the name of his son. But as he kept reading, he was taken by the depths of happenstance. 'In the book, they are talking about Freddie's son, who has the same condition that Jack's son Reece has,' he explains."
"With Hopper's time on the Netflix series The Umbrella Academy as the musclebound superhero Luther (which required Hopper to wear a bodysuit now finished, the actor trades superpowers for black ops tactics as one of the main stars in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, now streaming on Prime Video. A prequel to the 2022 series The Terminal List starring Chris Pratt, Dark Wolf tells the origin story of Terminal List's Ben Edwards, the disgraced Navy SEAL turned shadowy CIA operative played by Taylor Kitsch."
Tom Hopper experienced a personal connection when two fictional characters, Freddie and Reece, mirrored the nonverbal autism of his son Freddie; he noted both characters have limited communication yet are depicted conversing. Hopper described the coincidence as meaningful and felt it was a sign. The actor transitioned from playing Luther on The Umbrella Academy to co-starring in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf on Prime Video. Dark Wolf serves as a prequel focused on Ben Edwards, a disgraced Navy SEAL turned CIA operative portrayed by Taylor Kitsch, with Hopper as Lieutenant Raife Hastings accompanying Edwards toward betrayal and moral decline.
