Grimm

Silas plays “Monroe”  a Wieder Blutbad who used to live a fairly solitary, reformed life among humans until he met Detective Nick Burkhardt during a case. The pair form an unlikely friendship as a result of Nick oftentimes calling upon Monroe for help.

Most times Monroe is consulted for his knowledge pertaining to creatures of the Wesen world when Nick can’t find the answer. In addition, Nick has come to rely on Monroe’s support in various capacities: Monroe has helped from tracking suspects to protection to clandestine investigative methods. He met his wife Rosalee whilst helping Nick on a case. Monroe went on to have triplets with Rosalee.

Prison Break

Silas plays “Charles Patoshik” also known as “Haywire” who was one of the Fox River Eight who suffers from mental illness. Patoshik has a doctorate degree in mathematics from Harvard. He won four mathematicians of the Year awards. He began to exhibit signs of mental illness during his intense studies. Eventually, he snapped, killing both of his parents with a shotgun. He had no history of violent behavior prior to this and offered no motive for the crime (he claimed to not remember doing it at all).

Silas was diagnosed as having schizoaffective disorder with bipolar tendencies and was committed to the Psychiatric Ward of Fox River, where he earned the nickname “Haywire”. He also has a fear of crowds. While talking to Haywire, Mahone said to him, “I know you killed your parents because they hurt you, and I know you killed that guy Yesterday because he was hurting Sasha, but what you did… It was wrong.” This statement shows that Charles lived in an abusive household, which could have been the main contributing factor for his mental illness.

Dexter

Silas plays “Ken Olson” a Character in season two of showtime’s “Dexter”. He was a minor killer who attempted to copycat the “Bay Harbor Butcher”. Ken has a prior criminal record consisting of a minor assault charge. He also killed two people and attempted to kill a third. The first person that he killed was a drug dealer. He ran over him with his car and stole his stash of cocaine.

After that, Ken began sleeping with his boss’s wife, causing her husband to become abusive. He then killed the husband by pushing him down a flight of stairs and making it look like an accident. This resulted in Ken losing his job, and his girlfriend breaking up with him. When Ken’s mother, who was in a retirement home, had a close encounter with a petty burglar, John Henry, he tried to kill him and make it look like the work of the Bay Harbor Butcher.
