Photo Study #20: Evil is as evil does...

I get a major kick out of the recent Jaguar commercials where a striking Englishman discusses being a criminal mastermind, plotting world-domination and in general, wreaking havoc. And there has been the light-hearted and humorous criticism that the Brit always plays the bad guy...

Why?

Because they are so bloody GOOD at it!

Be honest - would you be as viscerally horrified hearing someone like Fran Drescher discussing a death-ray, or get that frisson of terror in listening to Ben Kingsley, Mark Strong, Tom Hiddleston or Nicolas Hoult discussing such widespread devastation as if they were ordering a fine meal in a 5-star restaurant? There's just something about that ultra-confident demeanor and smooth accent that makes the bad guy so attractive.

VS.

Which brought me to my creation from Bryan Silva of Studio 135.

I had seen an image of this bearded guy a while back and I thought right away this would make a perfect English villain. Bryan used his "Chiseled" mask to create this suavely corrupt individual. And Jerry Almond haired the mask to perfection. He also added a bit of gray into the facial hair to soften the look a bit. 

"Christopher Holland" is one of Lucio's most feared  (and most independent) lieutenants - brilliant, sublimely poised, completely unscrupulous and with a healthy dash of sadist tossed in. As well as possessing a killer sense of style - in every sense.

Only in the fullness of time will we discover what chilling plots and overall wickedness are up Christopher's sleeve...
