David Olson, played by William PowellDavid Olson is the media mogul Chetwyn Glyde’s saturnine right hand man and fixer.

It’s said that Olson is a man who knows where the bodies are buried. More than that – he helped dig the graves. And … he was reportedly responsible for some of the deaths too.

No-one knows where David Olson comes from, or who is family is. There’s stories of his being adopted and brought up by a Norwegian family in Brooklyn. Others say he was a street kid running the numbers when he stumbled into Chetwyn Glyde’s path. Still others say he comes from a Boston Brahman family but – as a result of a scandal at Yale – was forced to conceal his identity.

Whatever the truth, it is clear he is coldly efficient in all he undertakes, and strikingly loyal to Chetwyn Glyde.
