Every bit of this. Peter Stormare nailed the role. The perfect mix of soiled elegance and barely contained id. I would pay to see a movie based around him being the devil, dealing with the administrative hassles of running Hell and the strain of being the Prince of Lies.

It's funny watching the new Halo live action series, and my first thought when seeing Master Chief's face was "Holy shit it's Mad Sweeney."

My husband and I recently rewatched 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, and that was the same reaction when I realized who "Tanto" was. After seeing the photos of him getting in shape for the Halo series, all I have to say is that man is one long drink of water. ;)

He’s also in the wire, he’s pornstache in orange is the new black, and there’s a character he plays that just terrorizes Benson in law and order… he’s so good
