Dr. Malcolm Perry, Parkland's chief resident and the veteran doctor in the trauma room, was played by Colin Hanks. Writer-director Peter Landesman said: "Dr. Perry was the ramrod-straight, stiff-upper-lip veteran. While everyone else was spinning around, [Nurse] Nelson was trying to keep it together. Colin is the great revelation of this movie. He gives that chaotic, terrifying trauma room a still center." Hanks said: "When I read the script, I was looking for small details and connections, the little things that I did not know. For example, Dr. Perry presided over the attempts to save both JFK [John F. Kennedy] and Lee Harvey Oswald. I never knew they were both brought to the same hospital. I didn't know that the same medical staff attended both. It's another instance of real life being so much more fascinating than anybody could make up." Hanks added: "The manner in which the film was made was an actor's dream. There wasn't any waiting around for marks or line readings or turning around for coverage. It was very fast-paced and a lot of fun. It put me in the moment. Pretty much any actor worth their salt would line up to work with Peter."
