Stephen Root is portraying the much discussed, but previously unseen, title character in Amazon's The Man In The High Castle. A collector of spools of film showing alternate Earths in which the Nazis and Japanese did not prove victorious in World War II — the opposite to the history unfolding on the show — he's been at the center of, and a motivating force for, a lot of what's been going on.
The "Man" has connections with the growing resistance movement, though his actual role in it hasn't been made clear yet. What is, is that the current government wants those films confiscated before the flames of resistance grow stronger.
Picking up where season one left off, the show's focus is on growing tensions between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, and the continuing journeys of the various characters who are dealing with what's happened and using those events to propel them into the future.
The second season of The Man In The High Castle will be available for streaming beginning 16 December.
