Chris asks:
: Hi all,
: I've been trying to remember... have we ever seen him as a truly evil person? It sounds like his character in this new movie is pretty darn evil.
: Chris
Funny you should mention that, Chris...I was just trying to remember the same thing earlier. I think the closest I've seen him come to playing a bad guy was in The Bounty, but even then, it wasn't that he was truly evil...just that he was a product of his time, and didn't mind punishing the heck out of the men. He had a conscience, though, and tried to stick to the letter of the law. So, it sure sounds like this is a first. Ought to be quite interesting. Maybe he'll do evil so well, we'll never be able to look at him in quite the same way again...??
