In praise of Denis O'Hare.
By Jason Zinoman
Denis O'Hare doesn't chew the scenery. He gnaws on it, appears to lose interest, then opens his eyes wide and takes a ferocious bite before spitting with a blasé sigh. No one on television right now is having more fun. His gleeful portrait of Russell Edgington makes it clear that it's good to be the King, but better to be the vampire King: He has an army of rabid werewolves, a fawning consort, and when he feasts on a young stripper— streaks of blood staining his chin—he doesn't even bother to clean up for a business meeting. The boss can do what he likes.
