My Own Worst Enemy
My Own Worst Enemy is a TV series that premiered on NBC on October 13, 2008. It will also air on Global in Canada; the premiere dates in other parts of the world are not yet announced. The show is also being shown on several other NBC Universal stations, including USA Network, Sci Fi Channel, and Bravo.
* Henry Spivey (Christian Slater) is a middle-class efficiency expert living a humdrum life in the suburbs with a wife, two kids, and a dog. Edward Albright is an operative who speaks 13 languages, runs a four-minute mile, and is trained to kill.... Henry and Edward are polar opposites who share only one thing in common—the same body. When the carefully constructed wall between them breaks down, Henry and Edward are thrust into unfamiliar territory where each man is dangerously out of his element. My Own Worst Enemy explores the duality of a man who is literally pitted against himself, a la Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde. And it raises the question: who can you trust when you can't trust yourself? The series is produced by Universal Media Studios. Jason Smilovic [...] is the executive producer; David Semel [...] is the director and executive producer.
The characters' first names match those of the two dueling spirits that shared a body in Robert Louis Stevenson's novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. In that story, kindly Dr. Henry Jekyll's alter ego is the violent, lecherous Mr. Edward Hyde.
Other Main Characters:
* Angie Spivey played by Madchen Amick - A housewife who lives with her loving husband Henry Spivey and two children, Jack Spivey and Ruthy Spivey.
* Jack Spivey played by Taylor Lautner - Son and oldest child of Henry and Angie Spivey.
* Ruthy Spivey played by Bella Thorne - Daughter and youngest child of Henry and Angie Spivey.
* Mavis Heller played by Alfre Woodard - Edward's supervisor in the superspy organization
* Tom played by Mike O'Malley - Roland Raymond is a superspy partner with Edward Albright
General Motors has been a promotional sponsor of the show, and many new GM vehicles will appear in it.
The first online review of the series said the show was a "snappily written, fast-paced thriller that shows Slater can be a likable TV star".
The first episode is currently free on iTunes, Amazon Unbox, Hulu, and Zune Marketplace. imdb.com and nbc.com offer full episodes. In this episode, Henry discovers his alter ego and tries to cope with his discovery, not knowing whether or not he should trust Mavis. Conflicts are resolved and the episode ends with Edward watching a thank you video from Henry. It is established that while the two can't meet, they can communicate.
