AMC's Small Town Security Surprise: Transgender Security Specialist Dennis Croft

After a slew of hit dramas including Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Killing, AMC has struck gold of a different kind with their oddly alluring new unscripted series, Small Town Security. The show, which premiered Sunday, centers around quirky and outspoken Joan Koplan (the "Chief") and her small, family-owned private security company located in rural Georgia. Koplan's right-hand man is Lt. Dennis Croft, a fascinating man with a military background determined to turn JJK — a small town, family-run security and private investigation agency — into an elite force.

Croft, we learn half way through the episode, is transgender, but like with the compelling Koplan, he's so fasincating the fact that he once inhabited a female body isn't nearly the most interesting thing about him. We caught up with Croft to ask some questions about his boss, his calling, and what life is like for a trans man in rural Georgia.
