The Waco siege keeps giving us quality TV. One of the actors on a new Showtime series is from Richardson.
Matthew Menalo, center, plays attorney Steven Rocket Rosen, who defended two Branch Davidian survivors, alongside Giovanni Ribisi, right, as lead attorney Dan Cogdell in Showtime'sPretty much every major and minor role in Showtime's new miniseriescarries a heavy weight, because the ramifications of that piece of history are still felt today.
Menalo, a Richardson native, lives in New Mexico, where the series was shot. He plays the Houston criminal defense attorney who represented two of the 11 survivors of the Branch Davidian cult charged with the murder of two U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents during the raid on David Koresh's Mount Carmel compound in Waco., a Showtime miniseries that explores the chilling effects of the siege on the Branch Davidian complex in Waco in 1993.
U.S. District Judge Walter Smith threw out the weapons charges against seven of the defendants after receiving acquittals on the conspiracy to commit murder charges because no crime existed to merit having a weapons charge. A month later, he reinstated the weapons charges on the seven defendants, putting them back in prison for terms ranging from 10 to 40 years.
The production threw him into his character from the moment he stepped onto the set. He didn't have time to meet his fellow cast members outside of a few rehearsals and script reads. Menalo says he had to jump into Rosen's character with a bracing amount of speed and focus.
