Updated.

Is this how American Nazi John Smith (Rufus Sewell) gets so bloodied? Do anti-facists blow up his 1962 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Coupe? Amazon Prime’s The Man in the High Castle is an alternate history of what North America would be like if the Nazis won WWII, based on Philip K. Dick’s award-winning novel.  Set in 1962 and produced by Ridley Scott and Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files), the 10-episode series stars Rufus Sewell as SS Obergruppenführer John Smith, Alexa Davalos as Juliana Crain and Rupert Evans as Frank Frink. Other cast includes Luke Kleintank as double agent Joe Blake and DJ Qualls.
