Hither to that point it was mostly good guys. This seemed a natural move because I was too old to play the young guy in Battlefield Earth . I had enough success to prove I could be a bad guy. It's gonna be more along the lines of Hannibal Lecter. You're gonna be scarier, you're gonna laugh too.
Evil thinkers are also funny.
They're not thinking logically, they're thinking in a perverse way. The perverse way is kind of unusual enough to make you laugh. To play a villain and have no entertainment quality, I think you're looking for trouble. You have to add humor. Originally you were going to be the good guy and then found this to be an appropriate role.
