Just wanted to say hello and welcome you onto the board, hadn't properly done that. From the talking I had with those lucky enough to go to DLA, you were a definite highlight.

I've always heard that its easier to play a villian or a person with "questionable" motives at least (since Ethan might have been doing some good for all we know), and just wondering if you think its easier playing a 'good guy' or a 'bad guy'

Here's hopeful that the season finale ends with a shot of Ethan walking into the camp and holding turniphead :)

Thanks for the time you have contributed on here, we do all appreciate it.

freddy,

you got your wish: did you see the quick shot of me in the background in the camp with turniphead? your fingers to damon's fingers..
as to your question...frankly, it's a bit too broad for me to answer. first, what's a good guy or bad guy? (locke is a good example.) if the char's motives are well-established, he only appears good or bad to the audience. to the actor, he's self-justified. second, what's 'easier'? hamlet and lear are difficult to play well, but trying to bring to life a one-dimensional character with cardboard dialogue is pretty darn hard, too, whether he's helping old ladies or sinking ships.
in short, it all depends. in general, the better written the char, the easier it is.
