I know this is an old review, but footage of the late David Rappaport's scenes have finally popped up online:

Watching it, I think it becomes a very different character. The aired version is very much childlike, enjoying his games, and everything is almost there on the surface to see. The unaired version is much more reserved, making a character who you're much more unsure about due to how everything he's saying is very nebulous.

Two very different interpretations by two very different actors.

It's always fascinating to see, how different the more or less exact same words and script can be executed by different actors (or directorial influence).

I really liked the villain. He is very charming at first but is a complete amoral bastard. I tend to like villains who have that veneer of charm and respectability only for it to be a facade.
