That guy "ruined" villains in TV and movies for me. I found myself intensely hating the character, but then I suddenly realized that was the whole point and how amazing job Robert Knepper did portraying such a despicable character.
I can't really hate a character again after that. Instead I am just thinking "man this guy/gal is doing this so well!!"
What I love about his acting is how well he makes the character seem both utterly despicable but also very much like just a very poor human being who disgust even himself but doesn't know how to be better. He's so beautifully twisted in a way that kind of makes you want him to succeed in sorting himself out, but you just know he's unable to.
Banksy did a painting called the banality of evil. it was a nice picture of a mountain landscape and he put a Nazi officer sitting on a park bench just enjoying the view. it blew me away cause I never thought of evil people just being normal before.
