And you're 100% right, his character on True Blood was a freak:

But also hilarious

Eww, he's so creepy.

Oh Franklin Mott

Yea, James Frain has played some unusual (and often creepy characters in the past).

Here's James in the Tudors (may be spoilers if you haven't seen S2):

Hero of Time · 01-15-2011, 07:17 AM

OMG he seems evil there too

. Franklin was such a creepy nutjob

. I wonder how far will the Chess go.

Chasing Fireflies · 01-15-2011, 07:39 AM

To be fair, that was probably Cromwell's creepiest moment. Here's a more accurate representation of his character:

The Tudors (spoilers for S2):

and here is a trailer for 'Where the Heart is' where he played a very sweet character named Forney (sorry about the quality..couldn't find a better one):

It suddenly occurs to me Keith David (Max) was in that movie as well

I think we haven't even begun to see all that Chess will do, and I have a feeling that there isn't really a line that he wouldn't cross. In the premiere, he was going to blow up half of Palm City to get people to turn to him more.

Oh those are great clips, the role in Tudors seems to really fit him.

Chasing Fireflies · 01-15-2011, 06:01 PM

Besides Forney (which I had almost forgotten about

), his role in The Tudors was my first time really seeing him in a role. So I always kind of associate him with that show. I'm thinking that his role on The Cape could be my most favorite of his roles yet though

Hero of Time · 01-16-2011, 12:47 AM

Thanks for the clips, the first one made his character look less creepy

.

That movie looks cool, and wow, they were in the same movie, James and Keith, I mean. Plus Natalie

.

I think Chess is pure evil, but something must have happened to him to make him that way. By the way, the contact lenses are awesome.

Soleya · 01-16-2011, 05:09 AM

The lenses are so scary, they actually made me jump a little when they had a close up of his face.

Hero of Time · 01-16-2011, 06:50 AM

I'm sure it creeps people out, but I would so wear them, or not

. I'm not really a fan of his costume, though. I could get used to it, but I think it's weird.

Chasing Fireflies · 01-16-2011, 07:23 AM

The lens make him look like a snake, or some sort of reptile, which I love (not snakes..the look). I actually did like the costume, but I don't think it fits with the name "Chess." Unless I'm missing something?

Hero of Time · 01-16-2011, 08:46 AM

It makes him look badass

. I don't think the costume fits his name either

.

Soleya · 01-16-2011, 12:39 PM

I never even thought about the costume not fitting with the name, it totally doesn't!

Chasing Fireflies · 01-16-2011, 03:40 PM

I really want some random person on the show to make fun of Chess' costume like they do Vince's. Peter could be like "I'm Chess" and the guy could be like "I don't get it."

Though that would probably not go well for the random guy.

I agree the costume makes him look badass though
