Thomas Ian Griff wasnt right


He was the wrong choice to play Valak..

Woodsy as always shines, Carpenter semi delivers but Valak ruined that part...

Needed a charismatic actor like Chris Sarandon.

I was iffy when I heard Griffith was cast but in the end he had the look,the finess,and the chops that made Valek one of the toughest vamps on screen.

Griff is underatted and made Valek a true badass.

I thought he was great. It was James Woods that was miscast. He bares no resemblance at all to the Jack Crowe described in the book.
