David Thewlis as Simon Gruber
He was the original choice and after seeing him in Fargo I’d have loved to have seen how he’d have handled the role, he’d have probably been brilliant.
Jeremy Irons was great though.
Jeremy Irons plays better villains than Thewlis... he's on that Dafoe, Waltz, Walken, Malkovich, etc... level.
Thewlis is a fine actor too, but he's not in the same category in regards to the villain department.
I disagree, his villain in Fargo was one of the best antagonists I’ve seen in film/television.
He was also amazing in Naked.
