And that is a really brilliant move to cast someone really likable as someone despicable because it balances it out.
Because if you cast this guy wrong, it's a pretty depressing thing to just have this omnipresent guy who's like...

There's a darkness baked in to that character that you have to offset by casting Charles Durning.
