I really despise Joe Rogan's character in Newsradio, he didn't had any of the charm or wit that the other characters had.

Not strictly fiction but the David Simon show We Own This City details the (criminal) actions of the Baltimore Police Gun Trace Task Force and their leader Wayne Jenkins played by Jon Bernthal who's main take away from playing the character was the he was basically decent and frequently expressed admiration for the character. He's also a vocal supporter of the IDF and a Blue Lives Matter activist.

the character is small potatoes when it comes to fictional villainy, but Pierce Hawthorne played by Chevy Chase in the show "Community" immediately came to mind

Apparently Marc Alaimo was a bit too much like Gul Dukat and consequently not well loved by the rest of the cast of DS9.

  • Character: Frank Underwood

  • Actor: Kevin Spacey

He really was just playing himself. Power is the only language they speak.

  • Character: Wonder Woman

  • Actor: Gal Godot

A cold, invulnerable, classic beauty whose persona screams "I'm better than everyone." Not sure whether I'm talking about Diana Prince or Gal Godot.

Finally...

As much as Rogan annoys me, I encountered his character on NewsRadio before I encountered him on the podcast. He was supposed to be a blunt object to contrast the others' as radio personalities, businesspeople, and reporters.

That really is too bad. Dukat is an excellent antagonist.

unsurprising, though if 80% of my roles were cop related I would probably be blue lives too. for my own safety.
