My Take
Marc Alaimo belongs to that quietly essential class of actors who make stories better by playing the people we love to hate. His Gul Dukat on Deep Space Nine is, to my mind, one of the most layered television villains ever written, equal parts menace, charm and self-justifying ego, and Alaimo gave him a gravity that anchored the whole series. I find it telling that decades of work led him repeatedly to villains, because that takes a specific authority of voice and face. Heroes get the posters, but performers like him often own the memory. That low, threatening delivery is genuinely unforgettable.
