Didn’t see him as a villain at all. Just a man who had seen too much shit and his mind had snapped. Severe PTSD and no help available. Was he meant to be a villain?

Maybe not a villain, but he was definitely the wrong un’ of the platoon. Even if it was PTSD, it was a strikingly off kilter portrayal.

Pure distilled evil

Really, really want to see Tom Hanks doing a wrong ‘un

David Thewlis in Naked

A good wrong-un in Fargo too
