Personal notes: across all TV and media, I’ve rarely seen a character go from totally sympathetic, to total heel-turn villain, to total martyr like that.

Excluding the obvious choice of Jeffrey Combs as… well anyone really, I’m rather fond of Andreas Katsulas, though I may be partial to him for his phenomenal role as G’Kar on Babylon 5.
