Fan Casting Edward Blake in David Hayter's Watchmen

A charming, cynical government operative who understood earlier than anyone that the joke of the twentieth century was on humanity itself. Blake was a monster—a rapist, a killer, a hired gun for the Nixon administration—but he was also the only one who grasped the true horror of Veidt's plan before it was too late. His tearful, drunken confession to Moloch sets the story in motion, and his murder in the film's opening frames reverberates through every scene. Dead before the credits, he haunts everything that follows.
