My best villain to date in writing Due South has been a guy nicknamed, The Loon from Saskatoon. He counterfeited Canadian Tire discount coupons, trying to bring down the company because he was fired. The fact that he was doing this from Chicago for no apparent reason was a bit of weak writing on my part, I'll admit.
Memorable villains, that's one reason I won't watch certain CKR movies, I'm too scared it will color the way I feel about him as an actor. I hated Bruce Dern for years because he played characters that killed the hero in two movies, The Cowboys and the 1970s version of The Great Gatsby, the one with Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby. I wouldn't watch a movie if Bruce Dern was in it. Matt Fewer still creeps me out when I'm watching Eureka because of a character he played in the Cinderella episodes of Di Vinci's Inquest. I still shiver when I think about it. CKR playing Leoben doesn't creep me out, though because I have sympathy for the Cylons. Some of Leoben's methods bother me, but it doesn't color the way I see Callum.
