Dr Tony Hill is a fictional character created by Scottish crime writer Val McDermid. He is portrayed by actor Robson Green in the ITV television series ''Wire in the Blood'' based on her Tony Hill series of novels. ==Biography== Dr Hill is a clinical psychologist who works as a profiler for the National Home Office, and frequently Bradfield police; he specialises in repeat violent offenders, and has come into contact with a number of serial killers throughout his turbulent career. He suffers from developmental coordination disorder and has poor social skills, stemming partly from a childhood of emotional abuse. He is often accompanied on his investigations by the gutsy Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan, with whom he has a complicated relationship that takes on a personal as well as professional capacity. However, he avoids entering into a romantic relationship with her, though he is devastated when she eventually leaves Bradfield. He eventually becomes close with her successor, Detective Inspector Alex Fielding, but again resists a romantic relationship. He is occasionally implied as having a difficult relationship with his mother, an emotionally detached businesswoman who bore her son while she was still young and unmarried, at a time when such a thing was considered scandalous. It is also revealed in ''Beneath The Bleeding'' that his grandmother used to shut him in a cupboard for long periods of time whenever he irritated her or did something wrong. Additionally, both his mother and grandmother used beatings as punishment for unintended childhood misdemeanors - when really, it appears that his grandmother's exception could be attributed to Tony's birth out of wedlock rather than justifiable instances of wrongdoing, and his mother resented his presence in her life. As a result he can't stand arguing, having once said that it reminds him of being a child ("the grown-ups are shouting and it must be my fault"). Tony also has a history of poor physical health. In one episode he is diagnosed with an intracranial meningioma, which he eventually has removed. This caused him to become irritable, hallucinatory and disorganised, despite being aware of the distinction between his new personality disturbances and his previous self. At one point he sarcastically asks Jordan, "Do you want nice Tony back?" His skill at profiling is attributed to his capacity to empathize with the criminals he pursues, something which has been commented on multiple times as hazardous to his sanity. Often he will make shrewd observations about a crime or person without thinking, which tends to cause embarrassment or (in some cases) outrage. His thought processes tend to dominate his life, to the point that he is blissfully ignorant of everyday details such as tucking in his shirt, turning off his car's headlights, etc. These eccentricities endear him to some (Carol Jordan in particular) while alienating him from others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dr. Tony Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
